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

Check the profile of other processes on the machine using Process Explorer from sysinternals - you will get bad_alloc if memory is short, even if it's not you that's causing memory pressure.

Check your own memory usage using umdh to get snapshots and compare usage profile over time. You'll have to do this early in the cycle to avoid blowing up the tool, but if your process's behaviour is not degrading over time (ie. no sudden pathological behaviour) you should get accurate info on its memory usage at time T vs time T+t.

Answer 2

 ~className(){

 //delete stuff in here

}
