| Summary | 0002077: A strange memory leak | ||||
| Description | This is a very strange memory leak that happens to me. First of all how I measure it: I use Process Explorer (from SysInternals), for each process there's field Private Bytes that shows _reliable_ indicator of memory taken by a process, unlike Working Set that can be e.g. decreased by minimizing an application. What happens is that this memory starts growing soon after startup and doesn't stop, its memory utilization goes to infinity. This happens for MM 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, but not for 2.2 or any other application. By some tests I found that the leaks doesn't happen anywhere in my code, but rather somewhere deep in Windows. Also, I found that it seems to be related to the number of dlls (plug-ins) loaded, if some dlls are removed, the leak doesn't appear. However, it isn't related to any particular DLL! That's probably also the reason why MM <=2.2 works fine, the number of dlls was lower there. I spend quite a lot of time on this, but still don't understand what's going on, except for the details written above. I don't trust my current installation of Win XP on this notebook much and so I'm going to test on other machines too. Please do so as well and let me know. | ||||
