Memory leaks

I came accross this:

A unit that checks for memory leaks in your program.

May come handy sometimes...

Looks very interesting! I've been meaning to ask earlier, but since you brought the topic up, does anyone know of similar tools?

A long time ago I used to use a unit called Snoop - I doubt its been updated but it might still be around.

The one I use most is MemProof.

I have also used SleuthQA from the now defunct TurboPower, I believe its now available as a public download.

Excellent!

I am the king of memory leaks. :king:

I think I'll give this bad-boy a go in my latest game project. How heafty is it in your programs?

What about a little memory leak contest? :roll:

1 question i'm not sure of... If i have a class:

Code:

TSomeClass = class
public
  text&#58; TStringList;
  constructor Create;
end;

Then i create StringList in constructor. Will it be freed if i free TSomeClass object? or if i don't even free it, will it leave in memory when app closes?
I would find it hard to imagine WinXP could not handle and free application's own memory spaces.
