Question

I have a code of about 10,000 lines. I have to maintain a track for new and delete statements to check and avoid memory leaks. i can use new libraries or functions but i can’t change the code. How can i do it? Please donot suggest for any memory cheking tool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

i can use new libraries or functions but i can’t change the code.

Link to a heap implementation, which implements the global new and delete operators, and which keeps track of how many times each one is called.

HI ChrisW, Thanks for your reply. I implemented your suggessted way. it is working but i also want to know that, on which file and at which line these statements were used? Thanks in Advance

There are two ways to do that.

1. The global new operator needs to look at (and perhaps decode) the call stack when it’s invoked, to see/remember where it’s being called from each time it’s called.

2. See the answers to Overriding “new” and Logging data about the caller
