I suspect that my program has either a memory leak, or a variable that gets
released prematurely, or both...
Now when I run GuardMalloc, after a while I get the following message:
GuardMalloc[TestGraphs-4113]: free: magic is df7648e4, not deadbeef.
GuardMalloc[TestGraphs-4113]: free: pointer probably not from
heap, or header has been trashed.
GuardMalloc[TestGraphs-4113]: Explicitly trapping into debugger!!!
Does anyone know what this means? What is 'deadbeef', and what kind of
'magic' is meant here?
And, more importantly, does this give me a clue about the program position
where the error is?
The debug window gives no further information other than a bunch of assembly
code and a sequence of positions that are not from my code (such as run
loop, graphics calls etc.).
Thanks in advance,
Arthur C.
