images\info_sml.gifMIU: Memory In Use (Error Detection)

Example       Related Topics

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.
