>From my experience, develop your software from the ground up with Heaptrc unit enabled (compiler option -gh). It is MUCH easier to fix a memory leak the second you created it, compared to 6 months down the line. As for your question about how to resolve them. Simply enable -gh, run your app from a console window. Start simple. eg: Run the app, then immediately exit. Do memory leaks occur? If so, analyse the heaptrc output. Trace the line numbers and call stack. Go through the affected code with a fine tooth comb. Fix and repeat the test. Did the leak count reduce. Once all "application startup" leaks have been fixed, move to another dialog, and repeat the whole process. Yes, it's painful and boring as hell. Hence my suggestion on starting development with -gh enabled and it makes it much easier.
