https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621 <p> I created a Win32 Console application with Visual Studio 2013 (vc12) and Boost 1.56.0. </p> <p> This is my only file: </p> <pre class="wiki">#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt; #include &lt;crtdbg.h&gt; //#define CHECK_THREAD #ifdef CHECK_THREAD #include &lt;boost/thread.hpp&gt; #else #ifdef _DEBUG #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK new( _CLIENT_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__) #else #define DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK #endif // _DEBUG #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_CLIENTBLOCK #endif #include &lt;boost/exception/detail/exception_ptr.hpp&gt; #endif #include &lt;Windows.h&gt; int main() { HANDLE hLogFile = CreateFile(L"MemoryLeaks.txt", GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); //Turn on debugging for memory leaks.

So I started eliminating all includes until I found out that the one causing the reported leak was exception_ptr and luckily enough this one did compile with the macro. </p> <p> I'm attaching the solution. It assumes that the Boost library resides in c:\workspace\boost_1_56_0. </p> <p> Thanks! </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621 Trac 1.4.3 Dina Goldshtein <dinazil@…> Mon, 06 Oct 2014 04:47:30 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">boost_memory_leak_reporo.7z</span> </li> </ul> <p> The VS2013 solution </p> Ticket Dina Goldshtein <dinazil@…> Mon, 06 Oct 2014 06:32:21 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>version</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Boost 1.54.0</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.56.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket viboes Sun, 12 Oct 2014 13:53:13 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Emil Dotchevski</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">exception</span> </li> </ul> Ticket nonubik Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:31:11 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:4 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10621#comment:4 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">invalid</span> </li> </ul> <p> Try this, let me know if the problem persists: <a class="ext-link" href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2323458/how-to-ignore-false-positive-memory-leaks-from-crtdumpmemoryleaks"><span class="icon">​</span>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2323458/how-to-ignore-false-positive-memory-leaks-from-crtdumpmemoryleaks</a> </p> Ticket nonubik Mon, 27 Jul 2015 14:36:58 GMT
