Simple code analyzer

Question

Need a simple code analyzer to see if I am forgetting to free objects and classes, or to see if I am releasing them to many times.

Answer 1

This is built into Delphi's memory manager (FastMM). Set ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown true. You can also use the "full debug" version of the memory manager for more detailed checks and information.

Answer 2

AQTime from Automated QA is pretty much the defacto standard tool in the Delphi World for profiling for memory leaks (and perf of course)

Another option is a static analysys tool, the only one I know of that supports Delphi is Understand from SciTools it's pretty expensive though.

Answer 3

The Pascal Analyzer from Peganza does a static analysis of your code.

Answer 4

Simplest tool I've ever used for memory leak checking is MemCheck.
