VS2017 编译 Visual Leak Detector + VLD 使用示例

原由

一个Qt5+VS2017的工程，须要进行串口操做，在自动时发现一段时间软件崩溃了，没有保存log，在 debug 的时候发现每运行一次应用占据的内存就多一点，后来意识到是内存泄漏了。这个真是头疼，变量太多，不知道从哪里查找内存泄漏好。因而迫切的须要找到一种追查内存泄漏的工具。

一开始很天然的是vs2017 debug查看内存占用状况，采用的就是这个博文 https://blog.csdn.net/luoyu510183/article/details/84728664的思路，然而太麻烦了，放弃。后来无心中发现 Visual Leak Detector 这个工具，简直完美了。

VLD 简介

官网介绍说 VLD 时一个免费的、健壮的、开源的针对 Visual C++ 的内存泄漏检测系统。
使用方式很是简单，在安装以后，只须要告诉 Visual C++ 头文件路径和库文件。只须要在源文件中添加一行代码便可使用 #include <vld.h>.
在 Visual Studio debugger 运行的时候， VLD 会在 debug 会话结束以后把检测报告打印到输出窗口。内存泄漏报告包括完整的调用堆栈显示内存库是如何分配的。双击调用堆栈上的行号便可以跳转到编辑器对应的文件行。

Visual Leak Detector 官网地址 https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=vld，它已经迁移到了 github 。

VS2017编译VLD

不凑巧的是官网更新到2015年，支持vs2015，因此只能从源码开始编译 vld 了。能够从官网或者 github 下载源码。

解决编译问题

前面说了源码只支持 vs2015，用 vs2017 一打开就出现了问题，源码最高支持 vs2015 编译器，以下图所示：

支持vs2017编译器

上面的这个问题，通常只须要从新定位编译器便可，鼠标右键 "dynamic" 目标在弹出的选项中选择 "Retarget Projects"，虽然 输出窗口显示操做成功了，可是实际并无。

这是由于平台工具集不对，须要手动修改每一编译目标的平台工具集，这里以 dynamic 编译目标为例，修改它的属性，以下图所示：

在 General-->Platform Toolset 中从新选择，若是有多个选择，请选择一个合适的工具集，这里选择 Visual Studio 2017 (v141)。（其余的编译目标执行同样的操做。）

变动为 x64 工程

在编译以前须要把 "win32" 改为 "x64"，由于个人电脑是64位的，应用环境也是64位的。而后 Build Solution。而后就出现了 “Windows SDK 8.1” error。

按照提示，选择 Retarget Projects 而后选择最早的SDK版本，而后对其余的编译目标执行相同的操做。

定义宏 _SILENCE_TR1_NAMESPACE_DEPRECATION_WARNING

编译，又出幺蛾子了，提示 _SILENCE_TR1_NAMESPACE_DEPRECATION_WARNING 定义这个宏能够避免错误，因此须要执行以下的操做：

打开工程 libgtest 的属性设置界面，C++-->Precoessor-->Processor Definitions 中添加一个宏定义： _SILENCE_TR1_NAMESPACE_DEPRECATION_WARNING

对其余的编译目标执行相同的操做，而后编译。

Unsupported compiler

执行上面的操做以后编译提示 Unsupported compiler，双击这个提示跳转到源码 allocs.cpp 第37行，跳到 _MSC_VER 定义的地方一看，原来 vs 2017 的版本是 1916,同时搜索一下本地电脑上 Microsoft SDK 是否包含 ucrtbased.dll 或者 msvcr120d.dll，通过查找 VS2017 确实包含的是 ucrtbased.dll，新的定义以下：

#elif _MSC_VER == 1800  // VS 2013
#define CRTDLLNAME   _T("msvcr120d.dll")
#elif _MSC_VER == 1900  // VS 2015
#define CRTDLLNAME   _T("ucrtbased.dll")
#elif _MSC_VER == 1916  // VS 2017
#define CRTDLLNAME   _T("ucrtbased.dll")
#else
#error Unsupported compiler
#endif

其余的编译目标出现相同的问题，采用相同的解决方法。

Not supported VS

上一步编译以后提示以下，跳转到对应的源文件 vld.cpp 第 976 行：

很明显这是由于 vs2017 对应的版本号是 1916，因此修改成 _MSC_VER > 1916 便可。

cannot open file vld.lib

上一步编译以后提示找不到库文件 vld.lib

例如这个工程编译产生 lib 文件夹内容以下：

须要向报错的工程中添加库文件路径和库文件，可是这么多编译目标，一个一个设置库文件路径和库文件名，烦都烦死了，因此新建一个 property sheet，而后每个工程添加这个属性就能够了。

新建的 property sheet 内容以下

每个找不到 vld.lib 的编译项目都添加这个属性就能够了。

编译经过

========== Rebuild All: 16 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

VLD 最简单示例

一个最简单的示例，代码以下：

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#if _DEBUG
#include "vld.h"
#endif
int main()
{
    int *pint100 = new int[100];
    std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
    short *pshort100 = new short[100];
}

在编译以前须要确保是 Debug, x64，而且把上面的 property sheet 拷贝到当前目录，而且添加到这个工程中，编译运行，弹出了“没法找到 vld_x64.dll ”的错误，简单，拷贝上面的工程产生的 vld_x64.dll到这个工程的 Debug 目录，从新启动调试，又出幺蛾子了。

没法启动， 0xc0150002

解决方法参见这篇博文 https://blog.csdn.net/u012248603/article/details/52639578，
只须要把 vld 工程生成目录中的两个文件 dbghelp.dll 和 Microsoft.DTfW.DHL.manifest 拷贝到这个工程的 debug 目录便可。固然还须要把配置文件 vld.ini 拷贝到这个目录，并作修改，最后附上这个配置文件内容。

VLD不显示行号

参见这个博文 https://blog.csdn.net/fwb330198372/article/details/84253292

须要修改设置选项， Linker-->debugging-->"Generate Debug Info" 设置为 /Debug:FULL 便可。

如下就是这个工程的VLD追踪内存泄漏的截图：

; Any options left blank or not present will revert to their default values.
[Options]

; The main on/off switch. If off, Visual Leak Detector will be completely
; disabled. It will do nothing but print a message to the debugger indicating

; If yes, duplicate leaks (those that are identical) are not shown individually.
; Only the first such leak is shown, along with a number indicating the total
; number of duplicate leaks.
;
;   Valid Values: yes, no
;   Default: no
;
AggregateDuplicates = yes

; Lists any additional modules to be included in memory leak detection. This can
; be useful for checking for memory leaks in debug builds of 3rd party modules
; which can not be easily rebuilt with '#include "vld.h"'. This option should be
; used only if absolutely necessary and only if you really know what you are

;
;   CAUTION: Avoid listing any modules that link with the release CRT libraries.
;     Only modules that link with the debug CRT libraries should be listed here.
;     Doing otherwise might result in false memory leak reports or even crashes.

; Maximum number of data bytes to display for each leaked block. If zero, then

; Limiting this to a low number can be useful if any of the leaked blocks are

;
;   Value Values: 0 - 4294967295
;   Default: 256
;
MaxDataDump = 

; Maximum number of call stack frames to trace back during leak detection.
; Limiting this to a low number can reduce the CPU utilization overhead imposed
; by memory leak detection, especially when using the slower "safe" stack
; walking method (see StackWalkMethod below).
;
;   Valid Values: 1 - 4294967295
;   Default: 64
;
MaxTraceFrames = 

; Sets the type of encoding to use for the generated memory leak report. This
; option is really only useful in conjuction with sending the report to a file.
; Sending a Unicode encoded report to the debugger is not useful because the
; debugger cannot display Unicode characters. Using Unicode encoding might be
; useful if the data contained in leaked blocks is likely to consist of Unicode
; text.
;
;   Valid Values: ascii, unicode
;   Default: ascii
;

; Sets the report file destination, if reporting to file is enabled. A relative
; path may be specified and is considered relative to the process' working
; directory.
;
;   Valid Values: Any valid path and filename.
;   Default: .\memory_leak_report.txt
;
ReportFile = 

; Sets the report destination to either a file, the debugger, or both. If
; reporting to file is enabled, the report is sent to the file specified by the
; ReportFile option.

;   Valid Values: debugger, file, both
;   Default: debugger

; Turns on or off a self-test mode which is used to verify that VLD is able to
; detect memory leaks in itself. Intended to be used for debugging VLD itself,
; not for debugging other programs.
;
;   Valid Values: on, off
;   Default: off
;
SelfTest = off

; Selects the method to be used for walking the stack to obtain stack traces for
; allocated memory blocks. The "fast" method may not always be able to
; successfully trace completely through all call stacks. In such cases, the
; "safe" method may prove to more reliably obtain the full stack trace. The
; disadvantage is that the "safe" method is significantly slower than the "fast"
; method and will probably result in very noticeable performance degradation of
; the program being debugged.
;
;   Valid Values: fast, safe
;   Default: fast
; 
StackWalkMethod = fast

; Determines whether memory leak detection should be initially enabled for all
; threads, or whether it should be initially disabled for all threads. If set
; to "yes", then any threads requiring memory leak detection to be enabled will
; need to call VLDEnable at some point to enable leak detection for those
; threads.
;
;   Valid Values: yes, no
;   Default: no
;
StartDisabled = no

; Determines whether or not all frames, including frames internal to the heap,
; are traced. There will always be a number of frames internal to Visual Leak
; Detector and C/C++ or Win32 heap APIs that aren't generally useful for
; determining the cause of a leak. Normally these frames are skipped during the
; stack trace, which somewhat reduces the time spent tracing and amount of data
; collected and stored in memory. Including all frames in the stack trace, all
; the way down into VLD's own code can, however, be useful for debugging VLD
; itself.
;
;   Valid Values: yes, no

; Determines whether or not report memory leaks when missing HeapFree calls.
;
;   Valid Values: yes, no

;
SkipHeapFreeLeaks = no

; Determines whether or not report memory leaks generated from crt startup code.
; These are not actual memory leaks as they are freed by crt after the VLD object
; has been destroyed.

;   Valid Values: yes, no
;   Default: yes
;
