https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/738 <pre class="wiki"> Hello, I'm sending this message a second time (I didn't receive any response and still have this problem) I'm using boost::bind and boost::signal with VC6. VC6 is detecting some memory leak for a certain type of signal.connect(). I've done a little test program to check if the problem was due to some bug or special configuration in my main program, but the memory leaks are still detected in the test situation. Let me explain the structure of my test program. I have a main, and in the main, an object CCloneAppRecipe named clone. The class CCloneAppRecipe contains a member m_PtrTestMem (a shared pointer, but a raw point or an object does the same thing) of the class CTestMem. CTestMem contains 3 instances of the class CTestTab, and the class CTestTab contains a boost signal typedef boost::signal0&lt;void&gt; TypeSignalTest; TypeSignalTest m_SignalTest; In my main, I invoke clone.connectPtrTestMem(). clone.connectPtrTestMem() then invokes CTestMem::ConnectSignalTriplePtrTab(boost::bind (&amp;CloneAppRecipe::test, this)); ConnectSignalTriplePtrTab() then invokes ConnectSignal (TypeSignalTest::slot_type slot) for each of the 3 instances of the class it contains. ConnectSignal then calls m_SignalTest.connect(slot). And I have a memory leak: 2 blocks of 16 bytes. If I connect only one instance of CTestTab, no leak. Two instances, one leak of 16 bytes. Three, two leaks of 16 bytes, and so on. I connect the m_SignalTest with a CCloneAppRecipe's slot. If I connect it to a CTestMem slot, I have no leak. Or if I place 3 instances of CTestTab directly in the CCloneAppRecipe class (so I don't use CTestMem anymore), I have no leak. But that's not what I need to do. I've tested plenty of variations (shared_pointer or object, etc.) Does anybody have a clue.
