  • 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    Hm, a quick search revealed this github repo, and a page on the VS plugin site, but they both seem to be a bit outdated (I use VS 2022).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.
