I'm writing c++ using eclipse/gcc/gdb on a Mac OSX.

Does anyone know what I can use to find memory leaks and check bounds?

Your question is off-topic here since it is platform specific. You'll
likely have better luck in a Mac programming group such as those
listed here:

In general, the best way to prevent memory (or any resource) leaks is
to prevent them in the first place by always using RAII to manage your
resources. std::vector, std::auto_ptr, std::tr1::shared_ptr, etc.
enable this idiom. Of course, you may be too far along to retrofit
your current project now, but you'll know for next time.
