I teach Computer Science at Portland Community College. We are working on including a computer game component to our class programming assignments. DarkGDK/Visual C++ looks like a promising environment for doing this.

It would be useful for our students to be able to use VC++'s built-in memory leak checking. I have been trying to enable and use it with a 2D Game DarkGDK project. My project compiles OK, but I get a link error:



I've traced the problem to the Input page of the Linker section in the project properties. The project comes with "Ignore Specific Library" set to: libcmtd, msvcrt, atls. This setting removes the library that defines __CrtDumpMemoryLeaks.

I've experimented with a number of different settings, but no luck so far. Does anyone know a way to make this work?

Thanks...

You can't use the debug version of the runtime library with DarkGDK, and the release version doesn't have memory leak checking, so it doesn't seem possible unless you dynamically link all your code in a separate dll

(Sigh.)

That's what I was afraid of. Dynamically linking a dll isn't an option for first and second year Computer Science student assignments.

Thanks for the quick response.
