Please suggest a tool for Debugging Memory leak Bug in C++ source code

2 New Member
Hi... we are providing software support for one of the famous retailers in U.S. The code has been written in C++. Our field test customers feel that the application software is very slow.
Before we deliver the software to our clients, we are in a urge to improve the performance of the application. Some of our software engineers suspect that the memory dirty pages are too high in the application. They feel that the code have lot of memory leaks. Are there ways to improve the performance of the software?? Is there any tool that finds us the memory leaks in the code? Please suggest?

Hello, We are doing a stability test on our application to prepare for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 certification, and we found a memory leak, but we cannot find its source and fix it. We use an ASP page written in JScript that connects to Analysis Services 2000 using ADOMD and retrieves data from it (this is a very simplified version of our real application that we created just to test the memory leak), see the code below.

I have a web app running on the windows CE device. In one of the asp.net pages - it has javascript code. That seems to have a memory leak. When I run the web app - in about one hour, the app hangs. I looked at the memory and it seems to be full. I removed all the javascript code - and the app seems to be have no leaks. As soon as I include my javascript code - the memory consumption gradually increases. Whether I actually invoke the...

Hello! I made a short piece of code that I find very useful for debugging, and I wanted to ask you if it is correct, somehow acceptable or if I simply reinvented the wheel. To deal with some bad bugs caused by memory leaks I ended up with this simple solution: I made one header file that, when included, replaces the malloc/calloc/realloc/free functions with some other functions that do the actual job and insert (or remove) the pointers to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
