[Chris Gao]

Dear All, I used memproof on win2000 and it seems doesn't work on winxp. Could you please give me some suggestion of memory leak detecting tools on winxp? I tried GlowCode and I don't like it. Best regards, Chris

You can use the UMDH.exe tool which come with the "Debugging Tools For Windows" package. Steve

It's a little expensive, but my favorite by far is DevParner Studio http://www.compuware.com/products/devpartner/studio.htm[^]. The latest version is especially fantastic. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Hi Steve, Thanks! I downloaded debug-tools-for-windows (dbg_x86_6.6.03.5.exe) from ms$. Emm... umdh.exe looks like a very powerful tool. I don't really make too much sense of it yet. ..... still need sometime to learn. Thank you! Best regards, Chris
