Memory leak check problem

[William Ivory]

Hi,

I'm struggling with the memory leak detection at present. The scenario is that I am calling malloc in the production code, checking the content of this memory in the test code, and then freeing it in the test code. That counts as a leak apparently. While I could pull some tests out into a non-leak-checked test suite, there are places where I would like all bar one malloc call to be matched by a free, and to be able to check that.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

William

I am not seeing any leaks detected when I do the scenario you describe (malloc in production code and free in test code). Also, when I comment out the free in the test code, it correctly detects the leak.

Maybe you have an actual leak somewhere? Is the leak detector complaining about that variable?
