Visual Studio 2008 -> Aonix ObjectAda 8.4
-
Sorry if I landed in the wrong place, I could not see an Ada section... I get all the strange jobs. So here we have a very large amount of Ada code, as dll, which I call from C++. When my C++ is running in debug mode, no problem. In release mode (yes, I have written here before about this) it finds a memory leak when doing new, gives me an access violation and crashes. I followed this carefully as advised by yourselves. There are no memory leaks whatsoever in my C++ - DevPartner says so and I think so too. However, my ada.dll has a leak. Aonix dlls always have leaks, in my experience, but little ones you can live with. This one is different. So I got a new Aonix compiler, 8.4 (yes, I would prefer Gnu but they won't give me it, so there) and rebuilt it. I got patch U2 for it, which is intended to stop it making memory leaks when calling external dlls. Well, this Ada calls some very old external Fortran dlls (don't I get the FUN jobs). I have the very uncomfortable feeling I should get those Fortran dlls recompiled, but they are GFE. Our wise and intelligent buying department did not get me a maintenance contract, so Aonix are not being very helpful. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a memory leak finder for Ada similar to DevPartner? Is patch U2 no good?

My advice is: rebuild all from scratch, saying bye bye to all the
