WinVN Sources , Bugs and Betas
The WinVN is under heavy "bug hunting", mainly memory leakz.
24.7.2004
Known bugs 24.7.2004:
- big newsgroups causes crashdown?
This source code is mainly for MSVC.
The WinVn leaked megs of memory. Many leaks are now away.
The source is best with MSVC 6.0.
If you correct leaks, use testing tools.
I do not have Bounds Checker/DevPartner,
that is best tool (?) for this.
Use
Memproof
to detect leaks.
It is best with BCB 5.0 compiler.
Purify is good tool with MSVC 6.0.
Warning: .exes produced with BC and MSVC leaks memory in different
way.
MSVC seems more leaky with test dummy main() program, but otherwise
it produces more accurate results. BC can leave big leaks.
BC has tend to leave leak, whereas MSVC does not.
There are still many Purify and CodeGuard errors in code.
No exceptions/crashes detected (no more or yet) in BC or MSVC (21.7.04).
There are potential exception sources in code.
Testing covers: group windows, article windows.
Suggestions, bug reports, complains ...
