How reliable is VC22's "Memory detection"?
Hm, a quick search revealed this github repo, and a page on the VS plugin site, but they both seem to be a bit outdated (I use VS 2022). The first one also mentions a built-in visual leak detector. Which one were you refering to?

Why does this bit of code cause a ~4KB/S memory leak? (SDL2)
Honestly it won't do you much good if you're on Windows anyway. You can try Visual Leak Detector or maybe something like Dr.Memory but I couldn't tell you. I do all of my C++ work on windows either on the WSL or through a SSH connection to a Linux machine.

Trying to add tests for my cmake for catch2 with ctest.
Another possible issue would be the include(Catch) in your root cmakelists.txt . To include Catch there it must be part of your module path. Otherwise you have to include the path to that catch2 cmake file. Here is that file in their repository - https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/extras/Catch.cmake . I recon that CMake doesn't know about this file since you call find_package(Catch2 REQUIRED) later in your subdirectory
