I've written an app which will run continuously in the background on a server, so I am of course concerned about memory leaks. I've used Memproof to check for leaks and it shows up two, both of which seem to originate in a call to function MakeObjectInstance in the unit classes.pas. One is a pointer allocated by GetMem (48 bytes) and one is a page allocation (4096 bytes) called by Virtual Alloc. I can't see what, if anything I should change in my code to correct this.
After searching the web, I found a description of problems caused by this function: http://www.thedelphimagazine.com/samples/1328/article.htm and a short discussion here http://www.cryer.co.uk/newsgroups/bp_delphi_rtl_win32/200506/050603372.htm and http://www.automatedqa.com/support/leaksd6.asp which suggests a workaround - in my case it didn't seem to help. Going back to Memproof, the only DLLs that seems to be loaded are user32.dll (for the pointer) and kernel32.dll (for both). Can I assume that these DLLs are only loaded once as the exe runs and if so does this mean that the leak is a one-off and doesn't accumulate? If not, any advice?
