Hi,

GME does not detect memory leaks in your code. It only tries to catch the
exceptions thrown by your interpreter (even serious ones, like null pointer
ref.). However, if you're using MFC in your component, and you are compiling
a debug build, than the MFC allocators (malloc, new) and deallocators will
detect your leaks.
(To be clear: GME does not contain any piece of code explicitly which deals
with memory leaks.)

I think I asked this before, but I've just learned that all the messages

Does GME detect my memory leaks for me, and throw asserts if it finds
them?

I am putting a whole bunch of static objects into vectors, and I think
that GME is "discovering" this memory leak, and re-creating one of the
objects that is showing up as a leak.  Unfortunately, there are some
issues with the deletion, and it throws a debug assert every time.

If GME is detecting my memory leaks, is there a compile switch or
configuration to turn it off, and/or will it go away on release every
time?

Thanks,
Jon
