How to find memory leaks for native code in post Android 18?

Question

I am trying to find a way to find memory leaks in native code on Android apps. I have found others answers like How to Find memory leaks from native code in android, but these solutions aren't applicable post Android 18 as the DDMS no longer supports the "Native Heap" tab.

So if anyone can suggest a solution, it will be great help!

https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/1775 here you go. I use this. Installation is already inside the link. Sometimes it is freezing when dumping information but still good I think.
