So although the global operators are -defined, they are #ifdefed to just call malloc and free to avoid -the problem. This means that non-object memory checking doesn't work. -The problem does seem to be something to do with a pointer -mysteriously changing its address, very similar to 2). - -2) In BC++ 4.5, there isn't a crash, but instead the ofstream -pointer passed to SetStream from SetFile (which is called in -memcheck.cpp) gets mysteriously changed as it's passed to SetStream. -This means that when counting the number of outstanding memory -blocks, we can't compare the allocated block with m_debugStream -to say 'ignore this block because we can't free it before the -very end of the application'. Therefore it always looks like -there's a memory leak of one object, in memory.cpp, unless you -don't call wxDebugContext::SetFile. - -The fact that pointers appear to change in both cases must -indicate a common problem and solution. If we could use the -standard global memory operators for ofstream and -wxDebugStreamBuf it might help, but I don't know how to do that - -I've redefined 'new' throughout as WXDEBUG_NEW (which is itself -defined as the 3-argument operator). - -Owner-draw menus ----------------- - -If USE_OWNER_DRAWN = 1 and you create a wxMenu, you get 'all bets -are off' memory checking warnings from wxWindows. +Memory-checking subsystem +------------------------- + +This conflicts with wxUSE_IOSTREAMSH = 0 using MS VC++ 5.0 +(crashes the template code).
