Delphi's internal leak checker only tests for leaks in the Delphi internal memory manager. madExcept hooks over 400 different win32 APIs to report all kinds of additional leaks to you. So of course Delphi does not report this specific leak, because it's not a Delphi memory manager allocation, instea...

Well, looking at the Delphi RTL source code, TCriticalSection is basically a Delphi class, but what madExcept is complaining about is not the Delphi class, but the win32 critical section object inside. If you look at the definition ot TCriticalSection, it looks like this: type TCriticalSection = cla...

Does the "TIdThreadSafeIntegerAccess(GThreadCount).FCriticalSection" address match one of the reported leaks ($5d4150c or $5cf290c)?

Sorry about that...

Good question, I'm not entirely sure. You could try calling "madExcept.ReportLeaksNow(false)" as the last line in the finalization section of one of your units (ideally one which is finalized very late). The problem with calling this manually is that not all finalization sections have run ...

I'm scared about changing this because it's been working very stably for many years. But I guess I could add an option to change the behaviour. Can you please a simple test project that shows what you need and that it's not working with madExcept enabled (but working with madExcept disabled)?

Do you run your Delphi installation with admin rights or from a non-admin user account?

You should not have to add anything manually, normally the installer should take care of everything automatically. I'm not sure what went wrong for you. But I guess if you have it running now, it's probably ok?

Does using the INJECT_ALLOW_THREAD flag help?

Thanks for letting us know, and I'm happy to hear that madCodeHook was not at fault!

Also, could you try this on your dev PC with a simple (almost empty) test project? Can you reliably reproduce the problem that way? As you know, fixing problems without being able to reproduce them is very difficult.

Hi there, and sorry for the late reply. Which bug report sending method have you tried? The most reliable one might be HTTP uploading, but it requires you to upload a PHP script to your own webserver and to set things up properly. Does emailing work if you use the same settings/code in a normal desk...

Hi there, and sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure why your custom settings are not used in that situation. Maybe the part of madExcept that reads those settings isn't able to allocate enough RAM to handle the situation? I'm not sure why that would be the case, though. madExcept has an Out of Memo...

I've no idea, to be honest. Might this be a good opportunity to switch to some kind of HTTP upload instead?
