Memory leaks
Author
I've been reading a series of posts on catching memory leaks, but so far none of them have worked. I've noticed that all of them involve #define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC; however when I define that, I get a series of repeated errors:

Ok, I decided to start a new project and I included that info from MSDN and I get this:
I can fully assure that the word 'new' doesn't appear in anything I've typed since all I have is the WinMain function, so where is this stuff coming from?

Well is there anything I can do about it, because when I get my full program switched over I'll have no way of knowing which ones are my files and which ones aren't.

I don't know.
For what it's worth, this is not a leak - it's just memory that gets released after the object dump (hard to do a dump when you've shut down your IO library, isn't it?)

So you're saying if I get output like this:
the only thing that's an actual problem is the one that has a .cpp file attached to it?

The rest come from code which doesn't contain debug information (so all it can give you is an address). Third party libraries. There could be a leak in there, but I'm just mentioning that the IO library is often thought to leak when in fact it just cannot release its memory until after the object dump.
I am sure the difference between "normal block" and "client block" is documented somewhere. If you want to learn more about the issue, that's probably what you should start looking for.

Fluid's memory manager tells me I have 5 memory leaks but it says they're at ??(00000)::?? I've also tried using _NORMAL_BLOCK, and it tells me that there are also 5 memory leaks, but it says they originated in crtdbg.h in the new function which doesn't really help me.
