Cypher used v45 there, heh, maybe that's a difference between v45 and v46? I don't know, v38 was my latest.

Which version is this, Cypher?

Does the newest version show any difference?

[CypherJF]

It's build 46- the actual plugin src code I use is b45 - however, there is no major differences between these two builds.

It seems like many "console" messages are leaking, the messages it puts in the console.
Maybe there's something wrong with that?

Let's get our common sense (yes!) to work and find out why it's reporting memory leaks in the core.

In the main function we can find

Code: Show/Hide    // Create bot database    BOT_DATABASE botDatabase;

Which will construct botDatabase, now, where does it deconstruct it?

If you'd rename the main function and make an alternative main function which you call the original main function from you will see _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() doesn't dump anything and return FALSE.

I think this must be a false positive, as MSDN called it.

public/static objects are constructed when the app starts and destructed when the app stops. Whether or not the CRT debug functions correctly see this I don't know.

I was just saying there is no memory leak detected in MERVBot's core by _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks(). But you have to make sure you call the _CrtDumpMemoryleaks(); after botDatabase was deconstructed, otherwise botDatabase will be seen as a memory leak by it, which it isn't because it will get deconstructed as soon as the main function returns.

Yeah, I guess that really makes sense. Ugg. Again I feel dumb. lol.
