Run time error checking in Intel C++ Compiler / Debugger (Linux)

I am looking to purchase Intel compiler suite for Linux. I was wondering if the debugger has convenient run time checks like invalid access/memory leaks. I have used valgrind/SunStudio dbx for that purpose and would like to move to Intel compilers.

Thanks,

valgrind is used frequently with Intel compilers. An Intel product along that line has been suggested but I don't know the status.

I don't know of an array bounds check in Intel C++ compiler, if that's what you mean. Outright access faults will show up in gdb or idb, but may require repeating the run up to a step before failure if you need to recover the state prior to violation.
