Re: strange memory leak problem

This string will be freed when the variable leaves scope. What is the evidence that this
is leaking memory (if you're relying on CrtMemCheckPoint, know that it doesn't work. See
my essay on this problem on my MVP Tips site).

Hi all,

I use _CrtSetBreakAlloc to break the code at the point the leaking
memory is allocated and find that it is a CString allocated locally
within a function.

void Myclass::PrintInfo(CString &strTmp)
{
......
CString strUser( "bah");
strTmp.Format(IDS_START_INFO, strUser,);
.....
}

Additionally I have found some other memory leaks occur in STL stream
API calls, like << >>.
