Question on the memory error

[maswien]

We have a code that returns the ODBC driver list, the code used to be working when compiled on MSVC 6.0 compiler, after we upgrade to 7.0, it compiles, but fails when run it:


Detected memory leaks!
...\Vc7\include\crtdbg.h(689) : {500} normal block at 0x09B91098, 112 bytes long.

...

Any idea?

Thanks

when you double-click on this line in the output window, where does it take you?

The code is not compiled in visual studio IDE, the output error is in the dos console window.

I don't remember exactly what they are, but there's a couple of functions you can use that start with '_Crt' that will allow you to set a breakpoint on a certain memory allocation (in this case 500) so that if the allocation number is always 500 you can make your program stop on exactly the 500th memory allocation to see what it is that's causing the leak. hope this helps!

Same thing as your previous post

Since you said "I'm not a c++ guy", you really need to go and find one, because these are not really in the easy to fix category of problems.
