How to ignore false positive memory leaks from _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks?

by

I found that if you tell it to check memory automatically after the program terminates, it allows all the static objects to be accounted for. I was using log4cxx and boost which do a lot of allocations in static blocks, this fixed my “false positives”…

Add the following line, instead of invoking _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks, somewhere in the beginning of main():

_CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );

For more details on usage and macros, refer to MSDN article:
