Memory Leak - I'm gonna miss my deadline :(

[Pyramus]

I've got a memory leak in a multi-threaded application and I've spent nearly 4 days now hunting it down, and I'm not anywhere nearer finding it. Can anyone PLEASE suggest anything, and applications or whatever to help me find it.

From what I can see, this isn't a simple leak where I haven't done delete after I've done new, I think it's happening across function boundaries when I'm passing pointers, references and pointers to pointers.

HEELLPP!!

How are your synchronization mechanisms?
Do the threads use a common data pool where they might overwrite/reallocate memory?

If your problem also exist's in a Debug build, you are able to get a report about memory not freed from the runtime library.
int _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks( void );

See the MSDN documentation
"Enabling Memory Leak Detection"


- What magnitude of memory leaks are you dealing with ?
- How long time is your app running
- What kind of resources (except plain memory allocation) are you using ?
- Do you close ALL handles, files ....
