【Visual Leak Detector】配置项 SkipHeapFreeLeaks

说明

使用 VLD 内存泄漏检测工具辅助开发时整理的学习笔记。本篇介绍 VLD 配置文件中配置项 SkipHeapFreeLeaks 的使用方法。同系列文章目录可见 《内存泄漏检测工具》目录


1. 配置文件使用说明

在程序中通过 #include "vld.h" 的方式检测内存泄漏时,VLD 首先会尝试在程序的生成目录下读取 vld.ini 文件,若未读取成功,则会尝试在 VLD 的安装目录下读取 vld.ini 文件,若仍未读取成功,则会使用内置的默认配置,内置的默认配置如果不动源码是无法更改的,因此通过修改相应目录下的 vld.ini 文件来定制 VLD 功能是最好的选择。当配置参数等号右边为空,或者给配置了不合法值时,在使用过程中会被程序重置到默认值。

2. 设置是否跳过堆内存泄漏检测

参数名SkipHeapFreeLeaks

有效赋值yesno

默认值no

功能说明文档原话Determines whether or not report memory leaks when missing HeapFree calls. 但是当我把这个变量设置为 yes 时仍可以检测到堆上的内存泄漏,这个配置项的实际作用有待进一步研究。

2.1 测试代码

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include "Windows.h"
#include "vld.h"

void testFun(int i)
{
    int *ptr = new int(i);
    printf("ptr = %08x, *ptr = %08x.\n", ptr, *ptr);

    int *pData= (int *)HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(int));
    printf("pData = %08x, *pData = %08x.\n", pData, *pData);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    testFun(1);

    return a.exec();
}

测试环境:QT 5.9.2MSVC 2015 32bitDebug 模式,VLD 版本为 2.5.1,VLD 配置文件只对该参数做修改,测试工程所在路径为:E:\Cworkspace\Qt 5.9\QtDemo\testVLD

2.2 SkipHeapFreeLeaks = no 时的输出

标准输出窗显示:

ptr = 00539498, *ptr = 00000001.
pData = 00535720, *pData = 00000000.

2.4 输出结果对比

SkipHeapFreeLeaks = noSkipHeapFreeLeaks = yes 的输出结果似乎没有什么实质性的差异,不过有一点需注意,使用 new 分配堆内存时,会额外添加 36 bytes 大小的内存用于追踪管理,但使用 HeapAlloc() 函数分配堆内存时,则没有额外的内存使用,因此上述测试例的 Total allocations44 bytes,而不是 80 bytes
