[vtkusers] How to use vtkDebugLeaks .. ?

[Charles Boivin]

I am trying to investigate leaks in my library, and I have just
recompiled the VTK binaries with the VTK_DEBUG_LEAKS option activated.
I then set up a test case to see if VTK would catch it..

Here is what I did. In the constructor of my main class, I added this:

vtkActor* pNewActor = vtkActor::New();

And added nothing else to the destructor (on purpose). I expected VTK
to let me know about this one, but again, nothing! I guess I need to
know how to use this vtkDebugLeaks class a bit better...

I am running VTK 4.4 on Windows XP, compiled with VS.NET 2003. What
behavior should I be expecting from vtkDebugLeaks? Is there anything
else that I need to turn on? I am using the libraries compiled in
'Release' mode -- could that be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
