Re: point 5. The browsing path is used when trying to find source code
files. You should put the fastmm units on the library path.
The project manager repeating like that is a bug that is fixed in
later releases. Can't remember the cause. Just remove the entries
manually.
I wrote a GUI frontend to the fastmm Inc file. Search my blog for how
to download. It was a couple of years ago now. I actually updated it a
few months ago but didn't get around to testing it fully.
Out of the office otherwise I'd find the link for you.
Cheers,
Jeremy

I decided to try some memory leak testing on a couple of programs to
be sure all is OK, and after googling figured that even though I
have d2007 the best was to download FastMM4 from source forge
This is what I figured to do to run the tests - anyone can correct
me if I am wrong:
1 - Add Uses FastMM in ...\Components\FastMM\FastMM4.pas as the
first used unit in the .DPR file. note I just edited the .DPR file
manually.
2 - in the main form create add a line
ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := true; //#### FastMM
diagnostics if enabled
3 - Edit the FastMM4Options.Inc file to set
get an error on startup.}
{$define FullDebugMode}
[Note the program is a lot slower with this in]
4 - Add to Project compile options Debug Dcu's, generate debug
info, local symbols, reference info, use debug DCU's
Add to Project link options include TD32 debug info
I know not all of these are needed, but not being sure which I just
turned them all on.
5 - I found I had to add to each project search path
..\Components\FastMM otherwise it could not find
FastMM4Messages.pas or FastMM4Messages.dcu
even though that folder was in the IDE global setting Tools/Options/
Delphi options/Library - Win32/Browsing Path
All that done, to my relief I got a message that the only leaks
were one TFileStream, and one AnsiString
"This application has leaked memory. The small block leaks are
(excluding expected leaks registered by pointer):
5 - 12 bytes: TFileStream x 1
21 - 36 bytes: AnsiString x 1
Note: Memory leak detail is logged to a text file in the same folder
as this application. To disable this memory leak check, undefine
"EnableMemoryLeakReporting"."
This program does open and close a lot of files with TFileStream,
(note I do all my fileopens with a library routine that also saves a
reference number, the open mode, and the filename, and so far they
all seem to be closed properly- but I am checking to be sure).
I haven't yet figured out the culprit, anyone have any hints on how
to track them down, puzzled at the Ansistring one - what does that
mean, as I thought strings do not get memory leaks, being reference
counted. There are certainly way more than one string in the project.
Also I got a garbaged Project file - ended up with lines like:
<DCCReference Include="..\CFastMM.Pas" />
<DCCReference Include="..\CoFastMM.Pas" />
<DCCReference Include="..\ComFastMM.Pas" />
<DCCReference Include="..\CompFastMM.Pas" />

> <==== this is the right one
<DCCReference Include="..\Components\FFastMM.Pas" />
<DCCReference Include="..\ComponFastMM.Pas" />
<DCCReference Include="..\FastMM.Pas" />
Anyone come across this? Is it from anything I did wrong?
