Heap Corruption

[spieler]

I likewise was getting occasional errors from my VB application that uses the ImageMagickObject. After talking with Microsoft, we put a debugger on the code and it was producing heap corruption. I decided to run the debugger on MagickCMD.exe and it did the same thing. The command I ran was simply

Code: Select all

When I ran the debugger on convert.exe, this heap corruption did not occur.

I am starting to dig into the code, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for! The debug log can be found at

In the call stack, it looks like RelinquishMagickMemory may be causing some of the issues.

I am more than willing to give more details if they would useful. Thanks!

We run the valgrind memory debugger on ImageMagick under Linux to ensure there is no heap corruption, however, ImageMagickObject/MagickCMD are contributed projects so its possible they have bugs. When we run

no faults are evident. We'll give the code a once-over looking for obvious bugs but we must rely on the user community as well since we have limited debugging experience under Windows.

I actually just tried the ArrayTest.vbs file on my newly installed 6.2.6-5. I had been getting this error on 6.2.6-1, so thought I'd upgrade just in case. On a reboot, I'm still getting.



Anyone else have this issue? I'll also try it on my home pc tonight, although I'm not sure what version that is.

As far as low level debugging anything, including windows, I haven't had much experience. But, I'd like to get to the bottom of this, so I just might soon enough!

On a side question, is MS's free C++ compiler sufficient for compiling ImageMagick? I didn't get very far with my first try.
