Memory Leaks - any utility someone can recomend?

[Luis Krause]

Hi.

I'm trying to debug a serious memory leak in a fwh app in which brushes and fonts (mainly... ocasional bitmaps, cursors and other gdi objects are also stuck) aren't released when they should.

I have already used CheckRes() but it doesn't help enough to spot the objects that remain in memory when they shouldn't.

Antonio recomended this site: http://ltearno.free.fr/dpus/ but unfortunately it blows up and it's unusable.

I found a helpful article in msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/03/leaks
It comes with the source code (MSVC) to build the 3 utilities mentioned in this article (link is below the main title in the blue bars): http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... /Leaks.exe

Can some helpful soul that has MSVC build those 3 exes to try them out?
I it's not possible to attach files in the forum, please send to luis_krause at hotmail dot com

Any tricks/help on how to spot gdi memory leak, as well as any other
utility out there is more than welcome!

Regards,

Luis Krause

Luis,

As we have commented you by private email, we are going to improve CheckRes() for a better resources management control.
