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!

Memory Leak Detection

Asked by mmingfeilam in Windows Programming, Windows MFC Programming, C++ Programming Language

Tags: memory, leak, detection

hi,

i am just wondering, what is the best way to test for memory leaks?  

I have tried using boundschecker and purifyplus, but they only turn

up errors such as:

[W] UMR: Uninitialized memory read in sprintf {1 occurrence}
        Reading 1 byte from 0x044bef4e (1 byte at 0x044bef4e

uninitialized)
        Address 0x044bef4e is 14 bytes into a 128 byte block at

0x044bef40
        Address 0x044bef4e points to a malloc'd block in heap

0x03e90000
        Thread ID: 0x8c4
        Error location
            sprintf        [C:\Program Files\Razz\MSVCRTD.dll]
            CIVR_Module::Init(int,int)

[c:\razz\src\razz_ivr\ivr_module.cpp:136]
            CCSPEventThread::svc(void)

[c:\razz\src\interface\csp_interface\cspeventthread.cpp:73]

or complain about

memory leaks malloc_dbg in mfc42d.dll, which don't really help that

much.  are there any other ways to test for memory leaks?  

thanks.
