What static analysis tool do you prefer?

- by glutz78

Ideally, I'm looking for something to integrate into visual studio 2005, but if i could run it on the command line on windows or on linux for gcc, that would be okay also. I'm looking for something in the $1000 range so I understand I wont get the best tools available. But I also prefer something better than cppcheck, which is free. Any ideas? Thanks.

On WindowsMobile, how can i tell what other processes are reserving shared memory space?

- by glutz78

On WindowMobile 6.1, I am using VirtualAlloc to reserve 2MB chunks, which will return me an address from the large shared memory area so allocations do not count against my per process virtual space. (doc here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa908768.aspx) However, on some devices i notice that I am not able to reserve memory after a certain point. VirtualAlloc will return NULL (getlasterror() says out of memory). The only explanation for this that I see is that another process has already reserved a bunch of memory and my process is therefore unable to. Any idea where I can find a tool to show me the shared mem region of a WM device? Thanks.

Can anyone suggest a performance analysis tool that runs on win32 on a native c++ app? How about one that runs on Windows Mobile? (Preferably one that does not cost too much) Thank you.

What threading analysis tools do you recommend?

- by glutz78

My primary IDE is Visual Studio 2005 and I have a large C/C++ project. I'm interested in what thread analysis tools are recommended. By that I mean, I want a tool, static or dynamic, to help find race conditions, deadlocks, and the like. So far I've casually researched the following: 1. Intel Thread Checker: I don't believe that it ties into VS 2005? 2. Valgrind/Helgrind: free. 3. Coverity: this is a costly tool if i understand correctly. Anyone have experience with any of these or other? I'd much appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Does windows mobile broadcase a WM_CLOSE message?

- by glutz78

I've heard that Windows Mobile will broadcast a WM_CLOSE message to all inactive (?) windows if system memory falls below a certain threshold. I think I'm seeing this occur with my app too. But I cannot find any documentation to confirm this. Anyone know about this? Or know where I can find doc on it? Thanks for any help.

What's the difference between reserved and committed memory?

- by glutz78

I understand that memory has to be reserved before being committed. And when it's reserved, no other process can use it. However reserved memory does not count against available RAM. But shouldn't it? Because if no one else can use it, then what good is it being "available"? Or is there some bigger difference?

Why is QuartzCore reported as leaking in my app?

- by glutz78

When I view my app's memory in the xcode memory tool, i see that something called QuartzCore is reported as leaking many times. Each leak ranges from 16-80 bytes. My code is not referencing this. it's all from withing UIApplicationMain(). So I'm not sure how to control this. Any ideas? Thank you.
