Use Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com . It is free and is MUCH
detailed information, including a list of threads and memory usage. It also
Thank you Joseph for your reply.
I've used AfxBeginThread() function to launch thread and subsequently
AfxEndThread() to end it.
I tried using CloseHandle() and checked its return value, also checked
return value for GetLastError(), to make sure that handle is getting
closed.
Return values were as expected. But, it made no difference in behaviour of
exe.
This part of code looks like
//--------------------------------
CWinThread* ThPtr = AfxBeginThread(..);
bool b = ::CloseHandle(ThPtr->m_hThread);
int n = GetLastError();
thread function:
ThreadFunc()
{
.
.
.
AfxEndThread();
returb bRet;
}
//--------------------------------
I've used socket and DB calls inside thread function. For DB
communication,
I've used 'msado15.dll'.
I'll like to know, in which cases application will behave differently (in
terms of memory leaks) on different machine?
Thanks,

It is FAR more likely that what happened is that you are failing to close
the thread
handle of the thread, resulting in a leakage of thread stacks. Are you
certain every
thread handle is being closed?
The task manager may suggest that memory usage is increasing (it is one
of the few valid
reports about memory it is actually capable of), but you need to rule out
lots of other
explanations before pointing to MDAC (not that it might not be the cause,
but the most
common error I've found in multithreaded leaks is stack leakage). I
would suggest
downloading the free App Verifier from the Microsoft site and turning on
all memory
management options.

The application is a multithreaded exe involving socket communication.
The
memory usage in task manager increases when exe is running. It never
comes
down. In other words, for each thread it increases and never comes down
even
after that thread dies.

How do you detect that there is a memory leak? You assert this is

Hi,
My application (developed in VC++) is running fine on most of the
machines(without any memory leak). But, it is showing memory leaks on
production machine. Even on development side it is showing memory
leaks on
few machine. Why it is so?
Hardware configuration of these machines are different. But, I think
this
difference should not create any memory leak in application.
My application is using database communication and socket
communication APIs.
Is there any relation bet Hardware configuration and MDAC
version?????
Is MDAC 2.82.3959.0 having memory leak problems??
I've checked my code several times with different APIs and tools, but
it has
no memory leak. Please help me solving the problem. I've tried to
solve
problem in many ways for a long time, but not getting any output.
MDAC versions on these machines are mentioned below.
Development machine : 2.81.1128.0
Production machines : 2.82.3959.0
OS : XP SP2, Windows 2003 server
