Memory Leak Dynamic Monitor Based On HOOK Technique

Abstract

Memory leak can cause performance decrease or even breakdown of computer system. According to the unavailability of COM component, this paper analyses COM component’s memory leak mechanism, propose a testing architecture and provide a memory leak detection method based on HOOK technique. This method can locate functions which cause memory leak and get details of the leaking process. The experiment shows that the memory leak faults can be triggered and monitored effectively.
