Инструменты для идентификации пожирателей ресурсов памяти в приложениях VB6

My favourite tool has to be DevPartner though at £1,500 a pop it is not cheap. It does a hell of a lot more than Memory leak checking though, but if that's all you need you might be carpet bombing ants.

If you want to see if your app is releasing resources correctly, use this Function I wrote to dump the memory at a given location. I would first cache the addresses of each of your variables then at shutdown you could call the DumpVariableMemory passing in references to those locations to see if they have been deallocated.

If you don't have one already, you'll need to add a declare fopr CopyMemory too :)

    Public Function DumpVariableMemory(ByVal lngVariablePointer&, _
                                   ByVal lngBufferSizeInBytes&) As String
    '' * Object Name:   DumpVariableMemory
    '' * Type:          Function
    '' * Purpose:       Returns a memory dump of the variable or pointer location
    '' * Created:       21/08/2006 - 17:41:32
    '' * Coder:         Richard Pashley - NUPUK00008148
    '' * Build Machine: W-XPRP-77
    '' * Encapsulation: Full
    '' * Parameters:    lngVariablePointer      -   Long    -   Pointer to the data to dump
    '' *                lngBufferSizeInBytes    -   Long    -   Size of the dump to ouput in bytes
    '' * Returns:       -                       -   String  -   Memory dump output as a string
    '' *                This will dump the memory location starting at the pointer address and
    '' *                ending at the address plus the offset (lngBufferSizeInBytes).
    '' *                You can use LenB to determine the size of the variable for the
    '' *                lngBufferSizeInBytes parameter if required.
    '' *                Example: DebugPrint DumpVariableMemory(VarPtr(lngMyLongValue),LenB(lngMyLongValue)
    '' * Modified By:   [Name]
    '' * Date:          [Date]
    '' * Reason:        [NUPUKxxxxxxxxx]

На сайте MS есть еще один инструмент под названием processmonitor.exe . Он сообщает о каждом вызове запроса, и вы можете использовать его возможность фильтрации только для отслеживания запросов процесса вашего приложения.

Валидатор памяти может сказать вам, где выделяется память (и происходит утечка) в программах VB6 (и C ++, C, Delphi, Fortran 95 ...).
