【Visual Leak Detector】配置项 StartDisabled

  • Post category:C++

说明

使用 VLD 内存泄漏检测工具辅助开发时整理的学习笔记。本篇介绍 VLD 配置文件中配置项 StartDisabled 的使用方法。同系列文章目录可见 《内存泄漏检测工具》目录

1. 配置文件使用说明

在程序中通过 #include "vld.h" 的方式检测内存泄漏时,VLD 首先会尝试在程序的生成目录下读取 vld.ini 文件,若未读取成功,则会尝试在 VLD 的安装目录下读取 vld.ini 文件,若仍未读取成功,则会使用内置的默认配置,内置的默认配置如果不动源码是无法更改的,因此通过修改相应目录下的 vld.ini 文件来定制 VLD 功能是最好的选择。当配置参数等号右边为空,或者给配置了不合法值时,在使用过程中会被程序重置到默认值。

2. 设置是否禁用自动初始化

参数名StartDisabled

有效赋值yesno

默认值no

功能说明:设置是否禁用自动初始化,当 StartDisabled = yes 时,将会禁用 VLD 的自动初始化,此时若想检测程序中的某个函数、某个线程是否存在内存泄漏(即在运行过程中控制 VLD 的开启与关闭),需提前人为地调用 VLDEnable() 函数来进行初始化,当被测试的函数结束后,还可以使用 VLDDisable() 函数来关闭 VLD 内存检测。需注意的是,使用这种人为的控制方法时,检测不到 VLD 关闭期间的内存分配引起的内存泄漏;此外,调用 VLDEnable()VLDDisable() 函数时,仅仅对调用函数的线程有效,对于同一进程的其他的线程无效,除非在每个线程中都进行了调用。详见 Controlling-Leak-Detection-at-Runtime

2.1 测试代码

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include "vld.h"

void testFun(int i)
{
    int *ptr = new int(i);
    printf("ptr = %08x, *ptr = %08x.\n", ptr, *ptr);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    testFun(1);

    VLDEnable();
    testFun(2);
    VLDDisable();

    testFun(3);

    return a.exec();
}

测试环境:QT 5.9.2MSVC 2015 32bitDebug 模式,VLD 版本为 2.5.1,VLD 配置文件只对该参数做修改,测试工程所在路径为:E:\Cworkspace\Qt 5.9\QtDemo\testVLD

2.2 StartDisabled = no 时的输出

标准输出窗显示:

ptr = 00585f68, *ptr = 00000001.
ptr = 00586088, *ptr = 00000002.
ptr = 005860e8, *ptr = 00000003.

2.4 输出结果对比

  • StartDisabled = no 时,能检测到 testFun(1)testFun(2) 引起的内存泄漏,由于在调用 testFun(3) 前使用 VLDDisable() 关闭了 VLD,因此检测不到 testFun(3) 引起的内存泄漏。
  • StartDisabled = yes 时,只能检测到 testFun(2) 引起的内存泄漏,因为在调用 testFun(1)testFun(3) 时 VLD 都处于关闭状态。
