Overview

In C++ applications there are a lot of ways to handle memory allocation and deallocation. As many ways to do it wrong or simply forget to free memory. One way to overcome this problem is e.g. usage of handle classes (like OpenCASCADE does) or use a lot of factories. But all of them have drawbacks or performance penalties. One good way to get memory problems hunted down is the MSCRT Heap debugging facility. This set of functions opens the possibility to track and locate all kind of memory problems, e.g. memory leaks.

Implementation

The FreeCAD memory debugging is located in the Base::MemDebug class.
