Using CrtCheckMemory()
Submitted by |
Lately I had to debug code that caused heap corruption, I found myself
struggling against the computer in order to understand what causes the
corruption and how.
In the search for memory validation APIs I have found _CrtCheckMemory() API
which is being used by debug version of C run-time libraries.
Using this API wrapped with an assert macro gives us the opportunity to
check the heap every few lines of code without any overhead in release
version:
_ASSERTE( CrtCheckMemory());
it would be smart idea to use it even without any visible corruption, it
saves time in the long run :-)
This tip is based on information written on the MSDN.
