Is Directx buggy ?
I overloaded the new operator to try find memory leaks in my DX program.
It founds a lot of memory leaks hat don''t come from my code.
Is directX so buggy or do I miss something ?
example of output :
Detected memory leaks!

You missed something.
Make sure all fonts, objects, etc are ->Release()''d and deleted before shutting down the program.
I have no memory leaks when I do it properly.

Yup, agree with JoeyBlow2 here.
DirectX uses its own allocators for internal object management so your overloaded new & delete won''t affect them.
What you''re seeing is DirectX''s debug allocator telling you about some unreleased objects.
With COM objects, that can happen when there''s still a reference count being held for an object. A common thing that catches people is Get* calls and some Set* calls taking references (so that the parent object doesn''t get destroyed while your code still has a reference to it).
For debugging purposes you can see the current reference count by checking the return value of Release()
If you look at the DirectX control panel applet you can also get some DirectX objects to create a breakpoint on objects that are leaking (i.e. you pass in the AllocId listed in the debug output and it breaks next time you touch that object).

Have you set
pDev->SetTexture(0,NULL);
pDev->SetIndices(...NULL);
pDev->SetStreamSource(0,NULL);
If not, they're still in memory. Although you Release() them at the end.
This 3 calls add 1 to the reference counter of the Interfaces. So you have to NULL them at the end. (like above)

If you''re lazy like me, you can just use D3DSpy, it tells you the return value of Release(). Good for those who don''t like too much work (breakpoints.. so hard to press F9)
quote:DirectX uses its own allocators for internal object management so your overloaded new & delete won''t affect them.
Yet D3DX uses the overloaded ones, yes?
As far as I recall D3DX needs standards-compliant new and delete operators, right? (return a unique pointer with 0 sized allocations, or something similar?)

There''s been a discussion before about whether these increment the reference count or not (they don''t increment the reference count of the interface, but maybe they increment the reference count of the object internally).
Anyway, whatever they do, you don''t need to do the calls above, because the device will do them when being released.

Yes. I forgot about that.
Since D3DX is linked in as a lib rather than being a precompiled/standalone DLL it can be affected by other libs and overloaded functions you have in your app.
