Title: VC Toolkit 2003 Questions
Post by: roussec on August 23, 2005, 01:27:33 am

Hello,

did somebody already try to use the build in memory leak detectiion or the security checking of the Visual C++Toolkit? I tried using the Runtime Security Checks (/RTCu - Report Variable Use without Initialization). Unfortunatley my application (where I put in an uninitialized variable) crashes when I use this option from Code::Blocks.

Is there a way to use debugging functionality inside of Code::Blocks or is WinDBG the way to go?

Btw.: If I use functions like OutputDebugString() where will the output be directed? Is there a way to direct this output to the Compiler Messages tab of Code::Blocks?

Christian

I know you can use GDB debugger with Code::Blocks. I don't know very much about advanced features of this one but at least u have watches and breakpoints, basic debugging stuff from the IDE. I really don't know if you can do much more than this from the IDE.

Kindest regards,

Not too up on debugging formats, but I don't think gdb support the debug symbols produced by the VC++ toolkit compiler (could be wrong).

debugview from sysinternals will catch OutputDebugString() output.
