Debug Visual C++ memory allocation problems

Question

I\'m debugging a software which crashes eventually with one of the following messages:

1. DAMAGE: after normal block (#24729280) at 0x00D710E0
2. Debug Assertion         


        

Answer 1

Before using gFlags/PageHeap I suggest you to check for Access Violation exception. First attach the process by using Build->Start Debug->Attach to process option. Once it is attached enable the access violation exception by going to Debug->Exceptions select Access Violation and select the check box Stop Always. Then check whether your debugger catches any access violation exceptions.
