I used Visual Studio's tools for reporting memory leaks.

Main program uses a dll. In main program it reports the file name and line number:


d:\tmp\ali\ali\ali.cpp(47) : {200} client block at 0x003A84C0, subtype 0, 5000 bytes long.
Data: < > CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD

but in dll it doesn't:

{199} normal block at 0x003AC018, 10000 bytes long.
Data: < > CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD


This style reporting isn't usefull for me.

What's wrong here? How can i fix this problem.

thanks!!


Exe Source Code:

#include "stdafx.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
   #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK   new( _CLIENT_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__)
#else
   #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK
#endif // _DEBUG

#if defined(_DEBUG) && defined(WIN32)
#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
#endif

#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>


#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK
#endif



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );
	HINSTANCE m_kutuphane = LoadLibrary(L"DebugDLL.dll");

	typedef __declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall MyDllFunction();
        
    char	getDllFunctionName[]="?dllFunction@@YAXXZ";
    
    
    MyDllFunction*  mf = NULL;
    
    mf = (MyDllFunction *) GetProcAddress(m_kutuphane,getDllFunctionName);
    
    
    mf();

    //memory leak
    new char[5000];

    while (!_kbhit());

    return 0;
}


Dll Source Code:

// Check for memory leaks

#if defined(_DEBUG) && defined(WIN32)
#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
#endif

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
					 )
{

	//_crtBreakAlloc = 1397;
_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );
    return TRUE;

	new char[10000];
}

__declspec( dllexport ) void dllFunction() 

{
	std::cout << "dll: Hello!" << std::endl;
	//Memory leakage
	new char[10000];
	
}

You're showing us exactly where the leaks are. You're using the new operator in a wrong way.
You say: new char[1000] which allocates room for a 1000 chars. But you never assign the pointer to anything, and thus you can't delete the memory you've allocated which results in a memory-leak.
Here's a tutorial on dynamic memory

I added below line to dll's code

#define new DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK

and its working now.
