Usage of VIsual Memory Leak Detector
- by Yan Cheng CHEOK
I found a very interesting memory leak detector by using Visual C++.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/visualleakdetector.aspx
I try it out, but cannot make it works to detect a memory leak code.
I am using MS Visual Studio 2008. Any step I had missed out?
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "vld.h"
#include <iostream>
void fun() {
new int[1000];
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
fun();
std::cout << "lead?" << std::endl;
getchar();
return 0;
}
The output when I run in debug mode is :
...
...
'Test.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4053_x-ww_e6967989\msvcr80.dll', Symbols loaded.
