No GlobalFree for GlobalAllocation ???

[Michael Rosner]

Hello...

I am using PBDLL 5 and testing my apps with MemCheck..
When i declare an array as global i get the errormessage no Globalfree for GlobalAllocation.
Is there anything i can do???...Michael

Yes, ignore the "error". All global variable allocations are released when your app terminates.

While tools like MEMCHECK or BoundsChecker are very useful, they throw up lots of warnings - the trick is to know which are real problems, and which are not... it's a case of experience being the teacher. In general, most of the errors for GDI objects are real, but many of the others are not.

I spent ages trying to track down a multitude of errors that Memcheck reported when I used IMGDLL.DLL in my apps, and I eventually discovered that these were all false error reports too. As I said - experience is a good teacher!

BTW, have you tried using the API that Memcheck exposes? The "mc_debug" API is useful to be able to place info into the Memcheck logfile from within your code - useful for narrowing down the cause of an error within your code.
