[ace-users] FW: checking application for memory leaks

But is'nt it the idea that the memory allocation rutines will be
overloaded to be able to track the leak?
And if you include them after ACE includes, this won't happen somehow?
I used this code.



//**********************************************************
// function:
//
//  create a DataFactory => creates a Connection, 
//      AcceptFactory and DisconFactory object,
//      handling incomming socket data.
//
//  create a ConsoleFactory to handle user input.
// 
//  create a ConsoleHandler to handle console events.
//
//  create a TimerHandler => creates a Connection object,
//      create a TimConFactory object to handle timer events, 
//      and connect to local host at first timeout, reload the
//      timer, and send "quit" txt resulting in exiting the 
//      application.
//
//**********************************************************
int main(int argc, ACE_TCHAR *argv[])
{
    // handle socket input.
    DataFactory tst( &EventManager::instance() ) ;

    // handle console input.
    ConsoleFactory *cf = new ConsoleFactory() ;
    ConsoleHandler *ch = new ConsoleHandler( &EventManager::instance(),
cf ) ;

    // launch a timer to create a connection to local host.
    TimerHandler th( &EventManager::instance(), new TimConFactory(), 5 )
;

    std::cout << "Entering event loop!" << std::endl ;
    while( finished == false )
    {
        EventManager::instance().handleEvents() ;
    }

    //delete ch ;
    //delete cf ;

	return 0;
}
