HI,

I am dumping the memory leaks in my .exe using _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks
As a result I am getting the line number and size of bytes that are not freed.

I was using {,,msvcr110d.dll}_crtBreakAlloc in my watch window during debugging in visual studio 2012 to find out the exact position where leak occurred.

But for visual studio 2015, I have not found any dll(msvcr140d.dll) along with installation. Is there some other way to find memory leaks in visual studio 2015?

See this link about the refactoring of the CRT: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/06/10/the-great-crt-refactoring.aspx?PageIndex=2[^]

There are now three libraries and according to the above link the heap functions are in appcrt140[d].dll.

Just in case someone else needs another solution, I found that for Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015, the variable is located on ucrtbased.dll:

(int*){,,ucrtbased.dll}__crtBreakAlloc
