How do I suppress TFixedStreamAdapter leak error?

Post by standay »

Hi, I'm using the Drag and Drop Component Suite 5.81 for Delphi (from github) and I keep getting a TFixedStreamAdapter/GetMemCallback error on line 1296. I'll put some text from one of the reports I keep getting below.

Using Madexcept 5.0.0, drag and drop stuff is version 5.81. The drag and drop guy has been trying to fix but says if he gets rid of the madexcept error it causes a lot of other problems. The drag/drop code is very complex and my guess is it's a "false positive" from madexcept. There is NO error from Delphi (10.3 Version 26.0.33219.4899), just this resource leak error from madexcept.

Since there's no error from Delphi, I'd be happy if I could just suppress this madexcept error. Can anyone tell me how I might do that?

You should be able to use the callstack based "HideLeak()" API:

Thanks! I was able to get the errors suppressed by doing the following:

Add madexcept, DragDropFormats to Uses

Then in the TForm1.DropComboTarget1Drop procedure, add these lines:

Code: Select all

  HideLeak(TFixedStreamAdapter,1);
  HideLeak('GlobalAlloc');
I only needed to add the HideLeak in the Drop procedure as the errors only seem to crop up when I drop a file.

Hopefully this will help anyone else having this problem.

FWIW, I would recommend adding a few lines to the callstack, otherwise you're basically telling madExcept to ignore any and all GlobalAlloc leaks. I mean it's fine if you want to do that, but it might not be your intention.

OK, how do I do that?

OK, maybe this is what you are suggesting by "adding a few lines to the callstack":

Code: Select all

main thread ($29d8):
671a69f6 madExcept32.dll madExceptDbg     2781 GlobalAllocCallback
0081a249 SRDJournal.exe  DragDropFormats  1258 TCustomSimpleClipboardFormat.DoSetData
00821931 SRDJournal.exe  DragDrop         1129 TClipboardFormat.SetDataToMedium
HideLeak(TFixedStreamAdapter,2);
HideLeak('GlobalAlloc|GlobalAllocCallback|TCustomSimpleClipboardFormat.DoSetData|TClipboardFormat.SetDataToMedium');

That still works to suppress the error and I'm assuming it will only be suppressed when it has that combination of lines in the callstack and not suppress other GlobalAlloc errors?

Also, with this: HideLeak(TFixedStreamAdapter,2); does the "2" mean that kind of error will be reported if I have 2 or more occurances?

Thanks

Yep, that looks like a good callstack to use.

And yes, if there are more than 2 TFixedStreamAdapter leaks when your process shuts down, all of them will be reported. If 2 or less are found, none of them will be reported.

Got it, thanks for the help.
