Identifying Memory Leaks using GDB

[Shinto Thomas]

Hi Guys,

Please help me to understand why the below command has failed with the
error "*gdb: unrecognized option `-leaks'.*
Is there any package missing?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
gdb -leaks -threads -command=gdb.params -pid=1507
*gdb: unrecognized option `-leaks'*
Use `gdb --help' for a complete list of options.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please find my gdb version details below:
gdb -v
