Memory leaks from Purifier

Hi,
How do i debug the memory leaks given below which I get using the
Rationals Purifier for a C++ code.

[i] Summary of all memory leaks... {121604 bytes, 7 blocks}
[W] MLK: Memory leak of 65536 bytes from 2 blocks allocated in
BinDataPrep.exe
Distribution of leaked blocks
Allocation location
VirtualAlloc [KERNEL32.dll]
??? [BinDataPrep.exe ip=0x004125e3]
??? [BinDataPrep.exe ip=0x004122b2]
??? [BinDataPrep.exe ip=0x0041177e]
??? [BinDataPrep.exe ip=0x00427059]
[W] MLK: Memory leak of 32768 bytes from 1 block allocated in
BinDataPrep.exe

[ Cut Purify blat showing allocation IP for leaked blocks.]

Cause your build to generate a map. The map can
be used to assign each instruction pointer (aka 'IP')
value to a particular function. With your program
in the debugger, in 'view assembly' mode, go to the
offending function and find out which statement best
corresponds to the exact IP value. Then, somehow,
(preferably with a review of your design approach
and understanding of memory management issues),
decide why each of those allocations results in no
corresponding release of the allocated memory.
You will, in effect, need a free or delete for each
malloc or new executed in your code. This may
mean correction of a destructor or an operator=
implementation.

My code makes synchronous HttpWebRequest and HttpRebResponse calls. In VS 2003, I am getting memory leaks and event handle leaks. I am closing all streams and using "using"statements. I have used .Net memory profiler from Sci Tech to analyze the leaks and they are coming from inside HttpWebRequest and HttpRebResponse. When I run my code on VS2005, I do not get any leaks. Is this problem fixed in .Net 1.1 SP1? I may not be able to wait...

I have been using STL for a long time now, without any problems. Recently we generated a purification report on our software using Rational Purify, and we found some memory leaks. My colleague claims that some of the memory leaks are due to the fact that "STL is wrought with memory leaks". Of course I disagree. I think that there are no "inherent leaks" with STL, but if used improperly, leaks will occur. One common source of leak that...

hi, I'm looking for an open source memory pool. It's for use on an embedded system, if that makes any difference. Something with garbage collection/defragmentation would be nice. It should have the ability to allocate different size chunks of memory not just a single size. It should error check for double free, etc. And it should be usable by a mixture of C and C++ subsystems. If I get that, I'm happy. Thank you very much.
