I am pretty new to programming and I want to know how to detect a memory leak? If you are going to recommend a utility, please try to find one that works on Mac OS X Lion.
P.S. I tried valgrind, it doesn’t work on 10.7/Lion.

I’d recommend Instruments (which comes with Xcode). I admit I’ve never used it for C, but works well with Objective-C.
