[cadcdev-tiki] debugging win32 memory issues

[Sam S. <sam...@gm...>]

Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting memory issues on  
win32?  My heap seems to get corrupted before the app even starts..  
my tiki_main has been stripped down to essentially:

(tiki init stuff)

GenericMenu *ts = new GenericMenu();

delete ts;

Using the debug CRT, it'll report a heap corruption during the  
destructor, and using the release CRT it'll throw an exception during  
the constructor.  This doesn't happen in any of my other Tiki  
projects, just DCSquares, and it only seems to happen on win32.  I've  
tried recreating the project from scratch to see if I had set some  
weird build options, and even upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 (the  
free version is pretty sweet).  I think I must have a global variable  
with a constructor or something that's screwing up the heap before  
tiki_main() gets run, but I can't figure it out.  I'm almost at the  
point of discontinuing the win32 version of DCSquares and just  
sticking with Mac / Linux.

Also, when tracing through the constructor with the VS debugger,  
assigning of values doesn't seem to do anything.. ex.

m_usebgm = false;

when the debugger steps over that, the value of this->m_usebgm should  
change from true (the default) to false, but it just stays true in  
the inspector.  Even if I attempt to change the value manually in the  
inspector, it flips itself back to true again :-/
