Memory leak

Post by Gisle Vanem »

I just installed the Deleaker memory/debug tool.

When using the Everything-SDK in my program, Deleaker reported a memory-leak for the
_Everything_cs critical section setup in _Everything_Initialize().
Since this is never deleted, I patched Everything.c into this:

Code: Select all

void EVERYTHINGAPI Everything_CleanUp(void)
{
    Everything_Reset();
    DeleteCriticalSection(&_Everything_cs);
   _Everything_Initialized = 0;
}
I call Everything_CleanUp() right before my program exit.
Not sure if this is correct thing to do.

But, the leak report in Deleaker vanished. Comments?

Thanks for the SDK memory leak report.

This is an oversight on my behalf, sorry.

Your changes to Everything_CleanUp are correct.
I will updated the SDK to include these changes.

Calling DeleteCriticalSection(&_Everything_cs); in Everything_CleanUp and calling Everything_CleanUp on exit should fix the leak.
