Memory Leaks

There are some functions starting with _Crt... You should find the correct one in the help file. I''m now using VS7 and forgot how it was exactly when using version 6.
Perhaps there exists an appropriate flag for _CrtSetDbgFlag (), like in the newer version.

one time when I was programming I my program would always crash after a copule of minutes. I hit CRTL ALT DELETE and noticed my memory available was falling like a rock. I found out I was using a new in a loop without a delete and I was requesting memory without deleting it. That also can happen with other functions that allocate memory and that you have to manually deallocate it.

Okay, I have it dumping the memory adress. Is there any way to link that with a line number where the "new" was used?

You can specify a breakpoint at the beginning of
your code (cant remember the function ... BreakOnAlloc
or something).

Note the {alloc id number} you get in the dump,
pass this value to the function above, recompile,
run, test and there you go. You've got the line AND
the complete context of your program at allocation
time.
