VLD (visual Leak Detector) memory leak Detection Tool, Visual C + + 2008-2015

Original: https://vld.codeplex.com/

Visual Leak Detector is a memory leak detection tool dedicated to Visual C + +, which is free, open source, and highly robust.

VLD is easy to use:

1. After installing VLD, just tell Visual C + + where to find its header files and libraries. (: https://vld.codeplex.com)

2. You can then use VLD by adding the following line of code to your C + + project:
#include <vld.h>

Your project runs in Visual Studio debug mode, and after the run finishes, visual Leak detector prints the report of the memory leak. The memory leak report contains the full call stack, and the memory size is not freed. Double-click on the call line where you can jump to the corresponding line of code.

This is an efficient way to quickly diagnose and fix memory leaks.

The main difference between the CRT debug library and the VLD is that the Visual Leak Detector complete the call stack that shows the memory leak.

Here is an example of a VLD print memory leak report:

---------- Block 1199 at 0x04BE1058: 136 bytes ----------
