Single-header C++20/C++17 memory tracker and leak detector.
The tracker tracks all of the requested allocations via it's API until freed, providing verbose information:
- Name of the type allocated (eg. char, int, struct UserStructure)
- Filename and line where the allocation had occurred
- Memory address
- Total size of the allocation in bytes
By default, the tracker is enabled only in debug-mode. Release mode makes API calls no different to standard ones, making it as fast as possible.
Simply change the new/new[]/delete/delete[] calls to cinew/cindel/cindelarr macros, as shown below:
int* integer = new int; =>
int* integer = cinew int;
int* integerArray = new int[10]; =>
int* integerArray = cinew int[10];
delete integer; =>
cindel integer;
delete[] integerArray; =>
cindelarr integerArray;
These macros can be easily modified to your preferences.
Upon each thread destruction all unreleased thread-local allocations are dumped to the console. To explicitly dump current memory state, use CinDumpMemory() function. A costum memory dump function can be provided instead of the default one. Allocating memory and freeing it in a different thread is forbidden. Threads keep local state. To allow shared state, change CIN_ALLOCATOR_SHARED_STATE to 1 in the header file.
To build the project, run the provided batch script. The project comes with an example of how to use the features. Currently windows only, vs 2022 expected (can be easily changed in script).
