An updated version of the code in David A Jones' article "Memory Leak Detection"

David A Jones wrote a very good Code Project article & code in 2004 at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/MemLeakDetect.aspx?msg=3102545#xx3102545xx and the following notes suppliment his original article. I can't update that article, so have posted the changed code in this rather long tip!


David is no longer active on Code Project, however several people have contributed updates to the original code. Changes from David's version:


Code now compiles as Unicode and MBCS for both 32 & 64 bit builds.

Tested with Visual Studio 2008, but should compile with VS2010, and possibly with 2005.


Bug which could cause garbage in the debug dump fixed.


Writes log files to user's %TEMP% directory (and clears old ones) in addition to outputting to the debugger output window.


Disabled by default in Release builds (although it is simple to re-enable this).


Changes by:

Doug Rogers (Win64 port)

Igor Jambrek (back-port to Visual Studio 2005 (although Tim may have inadvertently subsequently broken this; he can't test it), file logging)
OfekSH (bugfix)

Tim Stevens (Unicode/MBCS, bugfixes, tidy up).


Credit for the article remains with the original author.


Updated header file MemLeakDetect.h


/*************************************************************
 Author		: David A. Jones
 File Name	: MemLeakDetect.h
 Date		: July 30, 2004
 Synopsis	:		 
			A trace memory feature for source code to trace and
			find memory related bugs. 
 Future		:
				1) Memory corruption
				2) Freeing memory without allocating
				3) Freeing memory twice
				4) Not Freeing memory at all
				5) over running memory boundardies
		July 2009: Tim Stevens (UNICODE/ANSI 32 bit only, more secure CRT with VS 2008).
		Feb  2011: Doug Rogers, Igor Jambrek, OfekSH & tim. (Compiles as 64 & 32 bit).
		Based on http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/MemLeakDetect.asp
****************************************************************/
/*
Compiles clean in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 in 32 & 64 UNICODE and MultiByte builds.
By default, disabled in Release mode, since it relies on the Debug MS 
Runtime DLLs, the licence terms of which only allow redistribution in 
Release mode. However, if you do want to use it in Release mode, then comment out the
"#ifdef _DEBUG" lines that guard the complete MemLeakDetect.h & .cpp files, 
and link against the Debug runtimes
(e.g. /MTd instead of /MT) in Release mode.
Please don't use precompiled headers for this file.
To catch most malloc/free or new/delete leaks, simply add this 
block of code (& #define MEMORY_LEAK_CHECK)
at the application level:
#ifdef _DEBUG
	#ifdef MEMORY_LEAK_CHECK
		#include "MemLeakDetect.h"
		static CMemLeakDetect memLeakDetect;
	#endif
#endif
A typical leak might be:
	int *pfoo = new int[1000];
Then forgetting to do
	delete [] pfoo;
Then when running under a debugger, if there is a leak, you'll get this kind of 
output in the Output pane.
You'll also get files with names like "mldetector-(AppName.exe)_Feb16-2011__21-53-43.log"
written to your %TEMP% directory:

You can then double-click in the Output pane on the leak ((145) in the example above) and be taken to the source line
which caused the leak.
