Hi all! I''ve a problem with MS Visual C++. If I compile my program with Debug-config everything works fine. But if I compile it with Release-config some error occur. I think I made some mistakes at dynamic memory management. But I don''t know where! I''m using following code for allocating and deleting arrays: float* test; test = new float[anzahl]; delete[] test; This is right, isn''t it? I''m deleting every memory I allocte after using it. I''m really confused about the face that if I''m calling a void in a loop the void sometimes works fine and sometimes does mistakes. But this only happens if I compile my program with Release-config. What''s very strange too is that if I''m compiling with MS VS 6.0 no windows-error message appears but if I''m compiling with VS.NET an error message with the text "Heap-integry is incorrect" (or something like that). Any ideas?? Thanks a lot! Corrail corrail@gmx.at ICQ#59184081

You're definitelely allocating and deallocating memory correctly.

But the crash may be caused by some garbage pointer somewhere. It's happened to me before, but I never bothered to fix it , I was giving up on that prject anyway...

Btw, I didn't try anything in vs.net... Only MSVC++ 6.0

It does look like a corrupt pointer or you are accessing outside the bounds of an array.

I''m not totally sure what you mean by this, could you explain it a bit more (if you feel it is relevant).

Hi guyz!

I''ve found the error!!
I''ve done this before:

char* _chrINIFileName;

int SetFileName(char* _chrIn)
{
_chrINIFileName = new char[strlen(_chrIn)];
sprintf(_chrINIFileName, "%s", _chrIn);
return -32768;
}

instead of allocating (strlen(_chrIn)+1)!!!

But thanks a lot for your help!!

You should use std::string and std::stringstream for that sort of stuff, they aren''t susceptible to buffer overruns.
