Hey i just ran latest build of dev-c++ through memproof (i got it off the cvs) and its leaking aprox 236662bytes each time its executed. MemProof is a very useful and free tool which i suggest you guys use to help debug dev-c++.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well. I wouldn't call it horrible. Programs like MemProof does not tell you a lot, since windows standard DLL's leak a lot, so does Delphi's components. Windows 2k + XP cleans it up automatically. Development under Win9x is similar to suicide. Probably more slow and painfull :)
I've never seen a memory checker program actually catching any real leaks. They usually get put off by the complexity of even small apps.
