Memory leaks when inlcuding the libary in MFC project

[BasConijn]

I have created an test MFC project to remove every dependency. cpprest.zip. Compiled with visual studio 2013. I have added the project using NuGet.

After executing the project visual studio reports a lot of memory leaks. I have added visual leak detector, but that reports no leaks (First two lines of the pastebin). See http://pastebin.com/KdLDtAf6. Adding the cpprest120d_2_8.dll to the delayed dll import (linker->input) solves most of the leaks (only leaks of #67 remain).

However, I receive "cannot delay load 'cpprest120d_2_8.dll' " when using the http_client class.

When uncommenting the "CreateRequest" functions, even more memory leaks happen. These are also reported by Visual Leak Detector. See http://pastebin.com/wGWdEuBB

Anyone knows where the leaks are coming from or how I can ignore them?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

[BasConijn]

Nope. I am not sure where to look though.

I'm experiencing the same memory leaks. What I have in my codes are

1. including the head file #include <cpprest\http_client.h>
2. in my class' method, unsigned int CMy::http_post() { web::http::http_request requestGCM(L"POST"); return 0; } Actually In runtime my codes never call the above method. But, when my program ends, a lot of memory leaks are found.

I wonder this issue will be fixed by someone?

[Adding comments] The memory leaks happen when I test with web::json::value. I only declared a valable, jsonBody like; web::json::value jsonBody; in a function that I've never called in my code.

You try

Project Properties
Linker->Input->Add library dependencies
mfc120ud.lib;mfcm120ud.lib

I have the same problem. I compiled cpprest140 source (version 2.10.2) with visual studio 2015 for Win32. I linked it in my MFC project and if I run the application, without calling any cpprest api, when I stop I get memory leaks. What's the solution? Thanks.

I have the same problem. How can fix this issue

[Curry-Messi]

you can try it like this:open "Projects->properties->Linker->input" in "Additional Dependencies" add mfc120ud.lib mfcm120ud.lib

vs2017: mfc140ud.lib mfcm140ud.lib

Curry, Thanks for your proposal, But I used vs2019, I can NOT find any files like the mfcxxxx.lib.

Thanks.

Hi, we have an large Multibyte MFC Project and we also get the FALSE Positive leaks. We can not simply add the MFC Unicode libs. I tryed to compile the cppRestSDK manually and link it as static, but then we have too many other issues ( with libz and more ).

Did anyone have an solution or an idea? What can we do to solve this problem?

[Curry-Messi]

嗨，我们有一个大型的多字节MFC项目，并且我们还得到了FALSE Positive泄漏。 我们不能简单地添加MFC Unicode库。 我尝试手动编译cppRestSDK并将其链接为静态链接，但是随后我们遇到了太多其他问题（libz等问题）。

有没有人有解决方案或想法？我们该怎么做才能解决这个问题？

My vs2017 MFC LIBS path is "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 \ VC \ atlmfc \ lib". mfcxxx.lib before MFCMxxx.lib , this is very important

I think this is because the statics in cpprest are cleared up after MFC calls _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks(), its a false positive.

The solution described here worked for me: https://groups.google.com/g/microsoft.public.vc.mfc/c/c0k93sFlpcs#e651b944da9c619d

I had to compile my own version of cpprest though with that new class.
