RE: Memory Leaks

Hi Anthony,

You would only fill up your hard drive if your program was writing out files
of some type.  Memory leaks would cause your application to crash because it
has used up all the available memory (ram).

30 GIGS is a lot to lose, what kind of applications are you running? Do they
deal with images?

Try this: The first time you run your application in the day, do a search
for files with the current time stamp.  See what you program
created/modified that day. Focus on files of large size. You may find a clue
there.

Subject: [cppug] Memory Leaks

I'm new to programming, and I've been using C++ a lot, mostly doing
example projects from a book that I bought.  But somehow, since I
started programming, just a little over a month ago, I've lost about
30 GB of space from my hard drive, and I can't figure out where it
has gone.  Is it possible that I've had some kind of memory leak,
and that has filled up my hard drive?

How can I verify what is taking up so much space on the hard drive?
And if it is from memory leaks, how do I get rid of it?  I've
already done the usual disk maintanence stuff, like defrag and scan
and disk clean-up, but nothing has worked.

I'd really appreciate any help that I can get on this!

Thanks so much,
Marlow
