An MIU message indicates heap allocations to which the program has a pointer.
Purify generates a list of memory blocks in use when you do any one of the following:
§ Exit the program and Memory in use is selected in the Errors and Leaks tab in the Default Settings dialog box or Settings for exename dialog box
§ Call one of the Purify API functions: PurifyNewInuse or PurifyAllInuse
§ Specify /InUseAtExit=yes at the command line
Note:
§ At exit, small amounts of memory in use in programs that run for a short time are not significant. However, you should fix large amounts of memory in use in long running programs to avoid out-of-memory problems.
