Initial Comment: When I tried to use boost::thread with boost::test (Unit Test Framework) I've always got the followed message: Detected memory leaks! Dumping objects -> {227} normal block at 0x00364698, 24 bytes long. Data: <PS > 50 53 14 00 FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 {226} normal block at 0x00364428, 8 bytes long. Data: < F6 > 98 46 36 00 01 CD CD CD Object dump complete.
It does not matter from Boost version (I tried the latest one as well). The error is reproduced with simple examples from boost::thread docs.
Platform: Win32 Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ version 7.1 STL : Dinkumware standard library version 313 Boost : 1.33.1
Could you help me?
These are actually false memory leaks. The memory blocks allocated by boost::thread_specific_ptr will be released after the "memory leak" report. On the other hand, boost::test might want to change the default to not report the memory leaks. Sean
