Since global new and delete call malloc and free, *every* leak
detector works just fine with them.

OTOH, if you are overloading new/delete for your classes in
non-trivial ways, then no leak detector will likely work without
some tweaking. It is often easier to just disable such overloading
in -DLEAK_DEBUG builds, rather than tweak the leak detector to
understand your memory management scheme.
