Memory leaks ... A project I was working on was suffering from not returning memory to the system when it finished using it. Couple this with the old data remaining, and being accessed when it was no longer in allocated memory, and I had a real buggy mess. I wrote container routines around all memory routine calls to track their activity to a log file. Processing the log was a trivial matter, and I was directed to those parts of my project that were the cause of the trouble. But this was a time consuming piece of work. And after the thing was fixed, I needed to remove the extra code. The point I'm trying to make is that it is possible for developers to address the memory leak issue, but it takes extra time and effort, and the temptation to skip this work, especially when working to meet deadline and budget restrictions, is almost irresistible. Cheers, PW.
