This utility is used to locate memory leaks in C++. It reports the location
(file and line number) of the new call that generated the leak.
Copy new.h into your project folder (or somewhere your compiler will locate
it), then #include "new.h" in your main file.
new.h is only operational if it is included before the location of the
memory operations you want to test. For example, if I want to test a new data
structure, but not the STL, my main file includes would look like this:
#include <string>
#include "new.h"
#include "my-new-data-structure.h"
using namespace std;
...
That way, only the calls to new in "my-new-data-structure.h" are tracked.
This utility defines a preprocessor macro that replaces the new keyword with
a call to a custom new operator defined in new.h. The preprocessor doesn't
start replacing text until a macro has been defined.
