you could try overriding the new and delete operators. you could then have a data structure which stores each memory allocation...the line number ( by using the __LINE__ macro) in the program where it was allocated, how much was allocated, what type of allocation it was ( eg. * or [] ). then you can print out a log of all the memory allocation structures. you can then tell which new wasn''t paired with a delete and so you can track memory leaks.if you need further help, i''d be happy to help.
or you could skip reinventing the wheel and use ftp://ftp.3dmaileffects.com/pub/FluidStudios/MemoryManagers/Fluid_Studios_Memory_Manager.zip

yes it is reinventing the wheel. but it''s a good exercise in learning how a few things regarding how memory allocation works. i think it''s better to write your own things like this, if you just keep copying code off people, how do you learn ? and you only need to do it once...
Also, if you''ve written it, you understand it a lot more than using someone elses and getting confused about certain things

the debug leak report gives you allocation number. use _CrtSetBreakAlloc to break on that allocation, and use the call stack to see which object is leaked.
