Running in the IDE fails when using FullDebugMode for FastMM

Question

I am trying to use FullDebugMode(fastmm4) to have a detailed report of memory leaks.

While I can get this work succesfully in a dummy application that creates and doesn't free a TStringList I cannot in another application.

In both projects the dpr is like this:

{$DEFINE FullDebugMode}
{$DEFINE LogMemoryLeakDetailToFile}
uses
  FastMM4,

And I enabled FullDebugMode in Fasttmm inc options file.

in the project options in both projects I set the following settings to True:

In compiling tab:

**Emit runtime type information

Use debug dcus**

In linknig tab:

Debug information

Those settings work ok for the dummy app, but for the real one just after linking i can see the IDE event log window populate, and after

Module Load: SHLWAPI.dll. No debug info. Base Address etc...

immediately the program resets (like if I did CTRL-F2)

Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

There is probably something wrong with FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll which is needed for FullDebugMode (and loaded after SHLWAPI.dll). Do you have FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll in the same directory as your application? Is it the right version?
