Detecting memory leaks in Visual Studio

[brandonquailer]

I liked that you went through it step by step and explained what each piece does instead of just giving the solution. And even though you did that you still managed to be concise. In short thumbs up!.

[GodsOfMW]

Absolutely phenomenal video. You walked through each case and explained what needs to be done and why. No shitty mic audio or annoying music/openings, straight and to the point!

I know I'm late to the party but this was exactly what I needed!!! Thank you for making this video, you're awesome!!!

[deinemama]

Thanks so much for your helping videos!

[bogdanyarotsky]

Thanks, friend! Your video is highly valuable

[lancewendel]

yes it was useful, and bookmarked it, thx a lot

This was great video, want to know how to check memory leaks since long time

[markmarino]

Hey thanks for the great video, I have a question about the macro used at the beginning of the program. When I try using it in my vs assignment, it tells me when I scroll over it "Macro can be converted to constexpr". In which case idk what that means and the macro ends up not working to help me identify what line I'm having the memory allocation problem. Please if you could give me any feed back I'd appreciate it!

Is there a way in macos? i use fsanitize and leaks... but they suck... valgrind only on linux

Thanks for detailed explanation.
I see one problem with crt library with static variables, if it is in heap.
Actually its not leak because it is created once and destroyed at end. But in CRT it detects as leak.. Is there any workaround?

Great video. Will this work for an MFC dlll? If so, do I configure the exe that calls the dll?

Excellent. Just a tip for C++ developers using Visual Studio, you will need to instal windows XX SDK (XX being your version of windows) to access crtdbg.h.

In my Visual studio, I can only see -> Show output from: Build. Thus can not see memory leak message. Any suggestion?

[killereks]

All i get is stuff like this:
{2214139} normal block at 12 bytes long.
Data: < w0 w0 w0 > E2 77 30 00 E3 77 30 00 E4 77 30 00
{2214138} normal block at 12 bytes long.
Data: < w0 w0 w0 > DF 77 30 00 E0 77 30 00 E1 77 30 00
{2214137} normal block at 12 bytes long.
Data: < w0 w0 w0 > DC 77 30 00 DD 77 30 00 DE 77 30 00
{2214136} normal block at 12 bytes long.
Data: < w0 w0 w0 > D9 77 30 00 DA 77 30 00 DB 77 30 00
For thousands of lines. Am i doing something wrong? I cannot see any lines.

i am getting the memory leaks at multiple files in the path - This path is related to VC tools and not the code. How do i fix this memory leaks in these paths?

[hereticstanlyhalo]

Do I have to do this to every file (with the macro and include)? Because it doesn't appear to show the file it was leaked at.

[kartikganti]

I like your video, but when iam trying it with the cpp program. I can only see the memory leak but not the location

Hi thanks for the info, if I've done this and it doesn't say anything about memory leaks, is it safe to assume that I don't have any? I've done it correctly since I commented out some of my free() calls just to check that it does actually work and it did print things out. Thanks!

hello there, i was woundering if there's a way to detect an SD card inserted to PC then Read from or Write into a file already exsists on C# using a forum and MSQL am new in this field started programming for a studing project thank you

[thekingp]

im late, i know... but if this does not detect a leak, does that mean there is no leak? because in my program after a while moving left and down (im making 2048) my Process Memory keeps going up and up, from a couple MB to like 18GB but according to this... there is no leak
