hey there,

while searching for the cause of memory leaks i experienced, i came along the following problem:
i open cinema and draw any spline into an empty scene and move some of its points. when i close cinema without saving the console spits out memory leaks in BaseSelect.cpp

here are some of the lines..

*** Potential Memory Leak Detected ***

this seems to me, like cinema itself creates memory leaks and not my plugin, which i didnt use in the scene...

any ideas??

cheers,

Hi Ello,

I can not confirm this using R14.
No such leaks here.

hm, that is really strange. for testing i removed every plugin and tried the thing again. same result. there are memory leaks.

Hi ello,

what Cinema 4D Version exactly do you use? 14.041?

no, its still 14.034 . the updater didnt pop up so far

edit, btw checking for updates does search endlessly.

I can not reproduce this either. I've checked R14.034 x64 on Windows 7. Are you sure this
is not due to your plugin?

i have now updated and still have this behaviour.. i have removed all plugins and still the same... very strange. i just draw a freehand spline, move some points here and there. close without saving and get plenty of memory leaking

if i dont move the spline points, there are no leaks. as soon as points where moved, the leaks appear

Where did you put your c4d_debug.txt file?

I think I remember getting those kinds of memory leak errors in R12. When I was putting the c4d_debug.txt file in the main Maxon folder.
These days I usually put that file in my plugin's folder.

really? but when i put it there, the console doesn't pop up

This only works if you Debug C4D using visual Studio so C4D will search in you plugin folder.
If you start C4D normally then it will search in main folder.
Any way this should not affect memory leaks.

Btw, one can also use the -debug command line parameter.

hi, what are your strategies to find what causes memory leaks? even if i comment everything out there still appear memory leaks. and i have no idea what causes them...

If you commented out everything , it might not be the fault of your plugin. Do you also get the memory
leaks when your plugin is simply not installed?

thats the point. as i mentioned at the beginning of the thread. even if the pluginfolder is empty it happens. but it seems that this doesnt happen to many..

now i am wondering how i can find out more about the sources of memory leaks.. is there the possibility to get information which things has been forgotten to free, etc
