In our development environment, we currently use:
 - gcc with every possible warning turned on (-Wall is not enough)
 - gprof for function level profiling
 - dmalloc for memory leak detection
 - valgrind (doesn't work on FreeBSD-64 though)
 - cachegrind (part of valgrind) for cache hit/miss profiling
