MemLeak with wxWidgets

[santajuicylove]

I'm using codelite with GNU/g++, wxWidgets-3.1.1 and wxFormBuilder or wxCraftor.
When I run my project with wxWidgets under MemCheck, it always show many memory Leaks,even the project is auto genarate by ide.
For console application, no memory leak detected.
I want to know why.

Hi,

Memcheck uses Valgrind, which always outputs large numbers of false-positive leaks with wxWidgets code; see e.g.
this wxwiki page (which I must remember to update).

I'd say you have 3 choices:

• 1) Look through the supposed leaks. Fix any that really come from your code bugs, and allow Memcheck to add the rest to its suppression file.
  2) Add a separate suppression file; then goto 1)
  3) Use Valgrind directly instead of via Memcheck.
