The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

_wfopen memory leak?

Asked by DoZo1971 in C++ Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C++.Net

Tags: _wfopen

Hi,

I'm using boundschecker to search for memory leaks. It gives a leak on this (now isolated) code fragment in a win32 app (C++, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 pro, sp1, XP pro):

case IDC_TEST:
{
      FILE* l_InputFile;
      l_InputFile = _wfopen(TEXT("C:\\Test.txt"), TEXT("rt"));
      int l_Result = fclose(l_InputFile);
}
break;

There is very little going on, i press a button, a file Test.txt is opened and closed. Yet, boundschecker gives tons of warnings (after exiting the program), like:

Memory Leak, Leak exiting program
_mtinitlocknum            mlock.c             279
_getstream                 stream.c             71
_wfsopen                  fopen.c               61
wfopen                      fopen.c             124
MainDialogProcedure winmain.cpp     112

and

Resource Leak, Kernel 32, InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount
__crtInitCritSecAndSpinCount     initcrit.c    161
__alloc_osfhnd                            osfinfo.c   93
tsopen_nolock                             open.c     385
_wsopen_helper                         open.c     170
_wsopen_s                                 open.c     910

These errors all seem to originate from the _wfopen() call, when i run the program without executing this code fragment, no leaks occur.

Anyone has suggestions what the problem might be?

Kind Regards,
Daniel Dekkers
