Visual Leak Detector with Visual Studio 2017: no source code line numbers

pulp picture pulp · Jun 22, 2017 · Viewed 9.6k times · Source

I try to use Visual Leak Detector with Visual Studio 2017 with Platform Toolset "Visual Studio 2017" I have set the include directory and the library directory. Generating debug infos is on. Symbols for the exe are loaded.

(It works if i change the platform toolset to "Visual Studio 2013")

With Toolset "Visual Studio 2017" VLD is detecting leaks but do not resolve the line numbers:

Visual Leak Detector read settings from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\vld.ini
Visual Leak Detector Version 2.5.1 installed.
WARNING: Visual Leak Detector detected memory leaks!

    ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain() + 0x63 bytes
    ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain() + 0x36 bytes

Maybe somebody know a way to enable line number resolution.

Thanks

Try to disable partial PDB: in project properties click to Linker - All Options - Generate Debug Info, select "Generate Debug Information optimized for sharing and publishing (/DEBUG:FULL)" instead of default "Generate Debug Information for faster links".
