When can a memory leak occur?

Question

I don\'t know what to think here...

We have a component that runs as a service. It runs perfectly well on my local machine, but on some other machine (on both machine RA

Answer 1

Just a hunch,

But I have had trouble in the past when allocating arrays as so

int array1[SIZE];  // SIZE limited by COMPILER to the size of the stack frame

when SIZE is a large number.

The solution was to allocate with the new operator

int* array2 = new int[SIZE];  // SIZE limited only by OS/Hardware

I found this very confusing, the reason turned out to be the stack frame as discussed here in the solution by Martin York: Is there a max array length limit in C++?

All the best,

Tom
