How to Enable Guard Malloc

To enable debugging using Guard Malloc, choose the Run > Enable Guard Malloc option in Xcode before running your project. Building and running your application with this option enabled runs your application using the Guard Malloc library automatically. You can use this option both Mac OS X applications and also for iPhone applications running in the simulator.
