You might take a look at DebugNew, part of CW.  Though beware new/delete
become thread-unsafe if you use it.

Also an MW employee (Howard Hinnant) has written a similar piece of code:

This has come up many many times.  Some apps built with CW are not liked
by MallocDebug.  It has been discussed on the Carbon list and
comp.sys.mac.programmer.*  You might try using BSD C instead of MSL C
(problems with duplicate symbols otherwise), or maybe just make sure to
set the export symbols to none.
