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

Yes, with the mechanism you're trying to use that's the case.

somehow?

Correct. This memory tracking scheme and the ACE restrictions on
header file placement are at odds here. You have two choices:

1. Use a different memory tracking scheme such as Purify, which Doug
suggested.

2. Develop, or sponsor, necessary changes to remove ACE's restrictions
on header file placement.

Best regards,
-Steve
