SmartHeap detects Memory Leak

2 New Member
Hi,
We just managed to get SmartHeap up and running and it's returning the following as a memory leak. We're using ANSI C memory allocation and I'm still a newbie, so any help would be appreciated.

We're passing in text "sometext" to a function that accepts a string pointer.

The receiving function does a string duplicate to write the text to memory space and create a new pointer. SmartHeap is saying that a memory leak occurs with the "sometext".

Here's an example of the call with "Locations as the string..

WdgAppendTabAtt ribute( SdmAsWdg( pTlz->pSdm ), DID_TAB_1, "Locations" , -1 );

Void Dynlink WdgAppendTabAtt ribute( PWDG pWdg, MediumInt id, PSTR pStr, MediumInt imageIdx )
{
PTCE pTce;

WdgAssert( pWdg );

pTce = TceCreate( id, pStr, imageIdx );

DpaAppend( &pWdg->dpaTab, (POBJ) pTce );

} /* End WdgAppendTabAtt ribute */


Void Dynlink TceInit( PTCE pTce, MediumInt id, PSTR pStr, MediumInt index )
{
TceSetAssert( pTce );

pTce->pStr = StrDuplicate( pStr );
StrSqueeze( pTce->pStr, pTce->pStr, '&' );
pTce->imageIdx = index;
pTce->id = id;

} /* End TceInit */

The pTce->pStr is being destroyed in the DeInit, and it is definitely being called. The breakdown appears to be with passing a text string into the TceInit. (StrDuplicate just creates a new memory space, copies the string into the memory, and returns a pointer.

Thanks for any help!
