How to clear vector of pointers inside static library

[himitsujanai]

Hi guys i have a memory leak in my program which the memory allocation number is increasing by one everytime its reported. I wanted to put a break point on it but I'm wondering if that allocation number make sense. Any idea what does it mean and how to track this? Here is the actual memory leak.

Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{1986} normal block at 0x01CD66B0, 88 bytes long.
 Data: < lE             > 8C 6C 45 10 00 00 00 00 CD CD CD CD 00 00 00 00 
Object dump complete.

The program '[2232] GLI_HarryTrotter_d.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

that allocation number {1986} will be come {1987} next time the leak is reported.

Well, from your snippet, it does not look like memory allocation number increases. That means memory leak source is created by the same sequence (the same place in the source).
It would be helpful to see filename and line numbers where allocation takes place.
If you are using malloc, define following:

#ifndef _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#endif

Place this block in your stdafx.h file before any include. You may have to also include stdlib.h and crtdbg.h after the above #define.
If you are using C++ new to allocate heap memory define make sure the suspect cpp file contains:

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

If not add it; new VS does not inset it automatically for added classes. Only files generated by tha ap wizard cintain this.

If you are using VS 2008 and above you will use this since

DEBUG_NEW is defined in afx.h. if you have any probllems use the following:

#ifdef _DEBUG
   #ifndef DBG_NEW
      #define DBG_NEW new ( _NORMAL_BLOCK , __FILE__ , __LINE__ )
      #define new DBG_NEW
   #endif
#endif

If you follow all of the above, you should see filename and the line number before memory allocation number.
