I've done a variety of google searches but either came up with commercial products or ones I could not get to detect blatantly leaking code.

( I only use new and delete). "E.

I've done a variety of google searches but either came up with commercial products or ones I could not get to detect blatantly leaking code. There was an posting in clc++.moderated about a memory leak detector and how to write one yourself (or at least adapt a detector to handle the new and delete operators). The only problem is that it relies on macros, which can interfere with programs using the placement new and delete operators. http://wyw.dcweb.cn/leakage.htm Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
