Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or where my mistake is, but the following code (extracted from C4D_MEMORY.H) makes me some headache:

------------------------8<--------------------------

  
void* operator new(size_t s);  
void* operator new(size_t s,int line,const CHAR *file);  
void* operator new[](size_t s);  
void* operator new[](size_t s,int line,const CHAR *file);  
void operator delete(void *p);  
void operator delete[](void *p);  
  
#define gNew new(__LINE__,__FILE__)  
#define bNew new(__LINE__,__FILE__)  
  
#define gDelete(v) {if(v) delete v; v=0;}  
#define bDelete(v) {if(v) delete [] v; v=0;}

------------------------>8--------------------------

bNew is for array allocation, isnt' it? So shouldn't it read:

  
#define bNew new[](__LINE__,__FILE__)

And why is there no deallocation operator with positioning arguments, like:

  
void operator delete(void *p,int line,const CHAR *file);  
void operator delete[](void *p,int line,const CHAR *file);

That causes me some trouble, because if the construction of a new object (during "new" operation) failes, the allocated memory won't be deallocated (at least that tells me the VCC docu in compiler warning C4291).

A second question: You seem to protocol the allocation position and the corresponding deallocations. Is there a way to read/dump out the protocol, to check for memory leakage?

It would be great if someone could enlighten me. Ciao,
Marcus

The C4291 issue will be fixed in the next API.
As for bNew I don't know if it's intentional, but new[] and new are both implemented using a simple Alloc() anyway.
If you create an empty file named "c4d_debug.txt" in the working directory C4D will open its debug console and display memory leaks.

I fell into the same trap as you on the new[] thing. Of course "bNew BaseTime[20]" is evaluated to "new BaseTime[20]", and there's no such thing as "new[] BaseTime[20]". So everything is alright.

Yeah LOL, you're right. Perhaps I should get more sleep...

Thanks (especially for the "c4d_debug.txt" info :)),

Hi Mikael,

today I tried the debug thing but it didn't work. I put an empty text file named "c4d_debug.txt" in the C4D directory (...\MAXON\CINEMA_4D_R8) and startet Cinema -> no debug window. Then I moved this file to the plugin directory -> no debug window. What am I doing wrong here. I even produced some memory leaks, but had no luck.

It would be really great, if you can help me. I think that this would be a cool feature. Thanks in advance. Ciao,
Marcus

You must make sure that it's in the working directory. So if you start from within Visual Studio the file should go next to the .cdl. (I usually place c4d_debug.txt files all over just to be sure...

I tried several things but it didn't work. I put the text file in the ...\bin-directory of Visual Studio C++. I copied it into the Cinema4D-directory and into the plugin folder - next to the .CDL file.

Where does this window open - in Cinema4D, in an extra application window or in Visual Studio?

When does this window open - when C4D finds the file, when there are allocations, when I use the VC-debugger or when I compile the plugin in debug configuration?

BTW: I'm using VC7 .net Standard - might this be the problem?

Try to place the "c4d_debug.txt" file in the C4D directory and then start C4D manually (i.e. by double-clicking the .exe file). Then a separate window named "DebugOut" should open right away saying "C4D Trace Start...". Otherwise I have no idea what's wrong. I'm using 8.012 in Windows, just like you.

Hi Mikael,

thanks a lot for your patience. Now it works. That was the cause: My link to the application had no working directory filled in...
You made my day This is a great feature. I tested it and have new questions, but don't panic, I try them to answer myself at first.

Ciao,
Marcus
