Hi all,
Here is a link to Memproof_installer.zip (2.2MB).
http://hotfile.com/dl/91609295/6358c68/memproof_installer.zip.html
This is what I originally used many years ago with Delphi 5 Enterprise
to write my shareware (which never really sold) and later became
mostly public domain freeware now found on http://pewink.info in the
Delphi source code page.
Memproof is a stand alone application.
Instructions:
click here
http://hotfile.com/dl/91609295/6358c68/memproof_installer.zip.html
and save the 2.2 MB fie to disk.
Unzip it with whatever you like and save the exe file. Then run it. It
is a standard installation exe file by the same company that wrote
Memproof (not me).
Then open the memproof folder and run memproof and read the
instructions in the help file. You will need to set certain
Optimization options off and other Delphi 5 compilation options. They
have a red circle and arrows in the help file.
Don't ask me as it has been years since I did this.
An interesting note is that later versions of memproof did NOT include
the help file... so save it if you install a later version of memproof.
Then open Delphi or Lazarus and compile your project (say,
"hello_fred" project) with the correct settings as described in the
Memproof help file.
Close Delphi or Lazarus.
Open Memproof and the open your project (hello_fred.exe).
Run it (hello_fred.exe) within Memproof (not as a Windows exe file).
Memproof will show all memory assignments and memory leaks. It will
also jump to the line in your source code where the memory leak
variable was created. You then need to decide where to call Free or
FreeAndNil for the object(s) which you created and forgot to free,
causing the memory leak(s).
This is then a process of recompiling it with Delphi or Lazarus and
reopening it with Memproof and running it until there are no memory leaks.
Happy Debugging and Merry Christmas 2010
