How to ignore false positive memory leaks from _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks?

Question

It seems whenever there are static objects, _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks returns a false positive claiming it is leaking memory. I know this is because they do not get destroyed unti

Answer 1

Not a direct solution, but in general I've found it worthwhile to move as much allocation as possible out of static initialization time. It generally leads to headaches (initialization order, de-initialization order etc).

If that proves too difficult you can call _CrtMemCheckpoint (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h3z85t43%28VS.80%29.aspx) at the start of main(), and _CrtMemDumpAllObjectsSince at the end.
