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

Ach. If you are sure that _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() is lying, then you are probably correct. Most alleged memory leaks that I see are down to incorect calls to _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks(). I agree entirely with the following; _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() dumps all open handles. But your program probably already has open handles, so be sure to call _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() only when all handles have been released.
