will I get Memory leak..

Hi all,

void main()
{
char *fp;
fp=malloc(26);
strcpy(fp,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
fp[10]='\0';
free(fp);
}

Please refer the program for my questions..

1. Can any one tell me if would i assign '\0' at middle of
dynamically assigned memory area will i get memory leak.. ??
2 . Will "free()" delete all the memory which allocated by
dynamically even NULL values has been added in middle of that.??
3. How let i know that will i get memory leak in a program?? any
compiler option are there ?? Can i use splint tool ?

Thanks,
Ganesh
