You do not need to make any changes at all. The interviewer is expecting some smart answer, so be smart and tell this:
1. No code change
2. Use standard memory profiling tools to chek for memory leaks

and the interviewer will be hapy to know that answer.

In this case, we can write our own version of new and delete operators and keep information about the memory allocated and deleted. at the end of program, we can check if any of the memory is still in hold and not deleted.

since we do have profiling tools, this is a waste question.
