【Visual Leak Detector】配置项 ReportEncoding

  • 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 ReportEncoding 的使用方法。 同系列文章目录可见 《内存泄漏检测工具》目录

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. 设置输出报告的编码格式

参数名：ReportEncoding。

有效赋值：ascii，unicode。

默认值：ascii。

功能说明：设置输出报告的编码格式。默认是 ascii 编码，若改为 unicode 编码，控制台输出报告的同时会自动将报告输出到文本文件中（即使没有人为设置输出到文件）。由于调试器 Debugger 是不支持 unicode 字符的，所以这个配置只对显示的内存数据形式有影响，当泄露块中包含 unicode 字符时，这个配置的效果才能体现。若项目路径中含有 unicode 字符，ascii 编码时将无法显示调用堆栈信息，改为 unicode 有时候则能正常显示，详见 StackOverflow vld displays empty call stack。

2.1 测试代码

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

void testFun()
{
    QString str = QStringLiteral("汉字unicode");
    char *ptr = new char[30]();
    QByteArray Block = str.toLocal8Bit();
    memcpy(ptr, Block.constData(), Block.size());
    printf("ptr = %08x, *ptr = %s.\n", ptr, ptr);
}

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

    testFun();

    return a.exec();
}

测试环境：QT 5.9.2，MSVC 2015 32bit，Debug 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 ReportEncoding = ascii 时的输出

标准输出窗显示：

ptr = 0119aa60, *ptr = 汉字unicode.

2.4 输出结果对比

  • 当 ReportEncoding = ascii 时，泄漏内存中的数据（汉字unicode）只有 unicode 显示正确，根据句点 . 的个数可知一行显示 16 个 ascii 字符。
  • 当 ReportEncoding = unicode 时，报告会同时输出到生成目录下，默认文件名为 memory_leak_report.txt，根据句点 . 的个数可知一行显示 8 个 unicode 字符。奇怪的是，不论是在控制台中还是在文件中，泄漏内存中的汉字并没有按期望正常显示，只有最后一个字母 e 显示正确，这一现象产生的原因还未找到。对比控制台输出与文件输出，文件输出少了第一行 Visual Leak Detector read settings from: D:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\vld.ini，泄漏数据的显示也略有差别，其他部分两者完全保持一致。
