The Example Source Code is,
using namespace cv;
VideoCapture cap(0);
cvNamedWindow("wnd_00");
Mat preview;
while (1){
if (waitKey(5) > 0) break;
cap >> preview;
imshow("wnd_00", preview);
} destroyAllWindows();
This is my first time to get through this type of problem using OpenCV. And now I have referred to many cases just like this from on-line postings, which has persisted from older versions. It is regarded to happen when using OpenCV in Windows MFC project, and when it is being run in Debug Mode.
Most important part is that, people assume the memory leak being indicated here is the "false alarm" because the function call "_CrtDumpMemoryLeaks()" in Visual Studio for detecting the memory leak is just earlier than the Exit Operation of the OpenCV's dll.
Though there are couple of options to suppress this "false alarm", those are actually the temporary solutions or it might take too much time to solve it actually. Thus I shall just choose to neglect it "believing it won't be the problem in Release version of the project, as it is the false alarm in Debug session".
Then, how could I really be convinced that there will be no memory leak in Release Version if I didn't do any mistake in my code? Have any advice or suggestion to deal with it?
