Re: strange memory leak problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am a little bit confused. The DLL here I am talking about is the COM
component. And the final memory deallocation is done in the COM object
destructor. The problem is if calling _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks at this time
is meaningless when I should call it then? Thanks.

You can assume that calling _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks is meaningless at this point. It can only
report memory that has been allocated in the default heap and not deallocated, but this
has nothing to do with the DLL or its existence. So it is entirely possible that you will
have allocated memory at the time this DLL exits, that has been allocated by components
other than the DLL.
