Detailed Description

identify memory leaks at program termination vtkDebugLeaks is used to report memory leaks at the exit of the program.

It uses vtkObjectBase::InitializeObjectBase() (called via vtkObjectFactory macros) to intercept the construction of all VTK objects. It uses the UnRegisterInternal method of vtkObjectBase to intercept the destruction of all objects.

If not using the vtkObjectFactory macros to implement New(), be sure to call vtkObjectBase::InitializeObjectBase() explicitly on the constructed instance. The rule of thumb is that wherever "new [some vtkObjectBase subclass]" is called, vtkObjectBase::InitializeObjectBase() must be called as well.

There are exceptions to this:

A table of object name to number of instances is kept. At the exit of the program if there are still VTK objects around it will print them out. To enable this class add the flag -DVTK_DEBUG_LEAKS to the compile line, and rebuild vtkObject and vtkObjectFactory.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

◆ ConstructClass() [1/2]

static void vtkDebugLeaks::ConstructClass ( vtkObjectBase object)
static

Call this when creating a class.

◆ ConstructClass() [2/2]

static void vtkDebugLeaks::ConstructClass ( const char *  className)
static

Call this when creating a vtkCommand or subclasses.

◆ DestructClass() [1/2]

static void vtkDebugLeaks::DestructClass ( vtkObjectBase object)
static

Call this when deleting a class.

◆ DestructClass() [2/2]

static void vtkDebugLeaks::DestructClass ( const char *  className)
static

Call this when deleting vtkCommand or a subclass.

◆ PrintCurrentLeaks()

static int vtkDebugLeaks::PrintCurrentLeaks ( )
static

Print all the values in the table.

Returns non-zero if there were leaks.

◆ GetExitError()

static int vtkDebugLeaks::GetExitError ( )
static

Get/Set flag for exiting with an error when leaks are present.

Default is on when VTK_DEBUG_LEAKS is on and off otherwise.

◆ SetExitError()

static void vtkDebugLeaks::SetExitError ( int  )
static

Get/Set flag for exiting with an error when leaks are present.

Default is on when VTK_DEBUG_LEAKS is on and off otherwise.

◆ SetDebugLeaksObserver()

static void vtkDebugLeaks::SetDebugLeaksObserver ( vtkDebugLeaksObserver observer)
static

◆ GetDebugLeaksObserver()

static vtkDebugLeaksObserver * vtkDebugLeaks::GetDebugLeaksObserver ( )
static

◆ AddFinalizer()

static void vtkDebugLeaks::AddFinalizer ( std::function< void()>  finalizer)
static

Ensure that finalizer is invoked before debug-leaks accounting is reported.

If your application holds VTK objects (i.e., instances of classes that inherit vtkObjectBase) for its duration, then adding finalizer function that frees them will prevent vtkDebugLeaks from reporting them as dangling references. This can occur if you declare static global variable that owns a reference to a VTK object (i.e., static vtkNew<X> global;). Because the order in which static variables are destroyed is not guaranteed, vtkDebugLeaks (which also depends on a static variable's destruction to report leaks at the exit of the application) may be called before these other static globals are destroyed.

By adding a finalizer, you can release these references before leak reporting is performed.
