Re: Using STL with SmartHeap

I've a problem using std::string in a VC6 application.
VC6 is obsolete and unsupported, its compiler only supports a limited subset
of C++. Consider upgrading.
When I add the lines below, without do any other coding. It throws
SmartHeap memory exception
....saying exactly what?
BOOL OCCI_Database::Open(LPCTSTR lpszServiceName, LPCTSTR lpszUserID,
LPCTSTR lpszPasswd)
{
.....
string userName = W2A(lpszUserID);
string password = W2A(lpszPasswd);
string connectString = W2A(lpszServiceName);

}
Are you perhaps missing the USES_CONVERSION somewhere in that function?
Also, I think the proper conversion macro is T2CA, T because you are
handling TCHAR based strings and CA because you don't need modifiable
strings.
I think the implementation of STL has itself heap allocator, and smartheap
is a different one? But I don't know how to solve the issue.
There are indeed memory-debuggers that falsely claim having found memory
leaks, see the vendor's bug database/documentation and google. The problem
is that the allocators of the C++ stdlib never return memory to the system
but put it into an internal heap for reuse, usually relying on the OS to
clean up what's left there after program termination.
