Application Verifier vs Gflags

Tags:

I'm trying to debug a heap corruption problem. I've seen posts referring to gflags and application verifier. Is there any difference between these two tools, or is the application verifier a pretty UI around the same technology?

There is no much difference between Application verifier and gflags. Application verifier is UI based tool basically on top of gflags. Both used for dynamic code analysis.
