do you ever found memory leak with STL?

[rokia]

I found many people encounter this problem.

and someone say that it's STL strategy.

but I dont know when will it release those memory.

BoundCheck report there are many memory leak when I use vector to push_back
thousands class.

any advice?

thanks .

Post the code that you say is leaking memory. And specify which compiler
you are using. Then we might be able to tell you whether the leak is real
or not.

I recall that BoundsChecker reports non-existant memory leaks with the STL
that comes with VC++ 6. But equally you could have made a mistake and
BoundsChecker is reporting genuine memory leaks.

Track the number of times that constructors and destructors are called for
you class. Obviously these totals should be the same, but don't forget to
include the copy cosntructors if you do this.

To the OP:

And if you need to do this probably a couple of times then you might think
about using a generic tracer class for this purpose.

There shouldn't be memory leaks in there but that doesn't mean that
you cannot code apps that have memory leaks. e.g. newing objects and
putting pointers to those objects into the container.....the container
won't clean up the memory for you.

That said, don't go using auto_ptrs with containers as you'll be in
for a surprise.
If you post the code here then we could take a look.

Yes. Sure. You're using a pointer to an element inside the vector. Now
you push/pop/remove any element and whoppa - the pointer does not
point to an element anymore, since the STL container re-allocated the
objects. Now you use any member of that object and see funny errors...
Just a thought... Post code if you're not sure.
