Hi, I remember that there was a discussion on how to find memory leak. I am
sorry I can't remember the name of the person who wrote the good article
about it, but I have read it and have some questions.
I use the code shown below to detect a memory leak. In the FMainForm, my
program basically do nothing except waiting for the user to press a button.
but even I just start the app and then exit immediately, I get a memory leak
detect. Am I using the right method to detect it? And using the debug
console, I get a line with:
start handle localID size size lck own
flags
*00004158 00001848 00001849 000388 000390 #2 #1
fM
Does this line really mean a leak?
Thanks for your help in advance.

UInt32 PilotMain(UInt16 cmd, void *cmdPBP, UInt16 launchFlags)
{
UInt16 error;
UInt32 startFreeBytes, endFreeBytes;
UInt32 junk;
if(cmd == sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch)
{
// check to make sure that the palm has the correct version of the OS
error = RomVersionCompatible (minVersion, launchFlags);
if(error)
return error;
MemHeapFreeBytes(0, &startFreeBytes, &junk);
// Initialize the application's global variables and database.
if(StartApplication())
{
FrmGotoForm(FMainForm);
EventLoop();
StopApplication();
}
MemHeapFreeBytes(0,&endFreeBytes,&junk);
ErrFatalDisplayIf(startFreeBytes!=endFreeBytes, "Memory leak");
}
return 0;
}
