VLD output error

[Haoxinn]

Hello all,

I use Qt to load two images and then call a image processing function. When I use Visual Leak Detector to check my code, the output of the tool is really strange. It indicates the largest number of used storage is GB, and it seems that I didn't call the function findItems() and processedPendingEvents().

Below is the output of VLD and part of my code.
Thx!

part of the output of VLD tool: (It seems that function findItems() and processedPendingEvents() use large amount of storage?)

part of my code: (I know that I didn't delete scene in ShowNV21(), but after I correct it, the largest number used shown in VLD is still very large)

void MainWindow::getfile10()  
{

    QString OpenFile;
    int Width = 0, Height = 0;

    OpenFile = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
        "please choose an image file",
        "",
        "Image Files(*.nv21 *.bmp);;All(*.*)");
    if (OpenFile != "")
    {
        char *File_Path = (char *)malloc(OpenFile.toStdString().length());
        strcpy(File_Path, OpenFile.toStdString().c_str());
        ShowNV21(File_Path, ui->graphicsView_27);

        GetNV21Size(OpenFile.toStdString().c_str(), &Width, &Height);
        ui->lineEdit_52->setText(QString::number(Width));
        ui->lineEdit_53->setText(QString::number(Height));

        imgNum = 2;
        Img_Info[0].Width = Width;
        Img_Info[0].Height = Height;

    FILE *Img = fopen(File_Path, "rb");
    fread(NV21_Img, Width * Width * 3 / 2, 1, Img);
    fclose(Img);

    NV21_T_RGB(Width, Height, NV21_Img, RBG_Img);
    QImage Original_Imag = QImage(RBG_Img, Width, Height, QImage::Format_RGB888);

@Haoxinn said in VLD output error:

File_Path

C(++) basic - when you allocate something you have to deallocate it later on.
Don't use c constructs in C++ code. It just gives you problems (like e.g. forgetting about the deallocation).

[Haoxinn]

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks for your kindly reply! You mean I should use keywords new and delete to allocate the storage, rather than C function malloc() and free() ?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

No, you should use proper container like e.g. std::vector or std::string since the deallocation is done automatically in the dtor of those classes.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Ohhhhh! It works! I replaced all the function malloc() in my code, then the output of VLD went back to a normal value. THANKS A LOT!!!
