In windows, we can enable page heap verification using gflags to catch memory corruption bugs more easily. Is there a similar service/program for Linux and FreeBSD operating systems?

See https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux_Applications_Debugging_Techniques/Heap_corruption
E.g., electric fence will do this.
Valgrind will also do this and much more http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html
