Howtos - Monitor memory leaks¶

1. Uncomment # DEFINES += ENABLE_NVWA in application/Core/Core.pro or application/Core/GUI.pro to activate monitoring.
2. Rebuild the Core or the GUI.
3. Run with the debugger attached (F5).
4. When you want to check the memory leaks type quit in the console.

The output should be like this:

For some leaks the file and the line are not displayed because the code doesn't contain any debug information, a lot of the leaks shown above come from static variables from the Protocol Buffer library. The leak from main.cpp:43 is just a test, this line has been added: int* test = new int[10];
