Delete FastMM4 MemoryManager_EventLog.txt

[Alberto Paganini 3]

I use FastMM4 to check memory leaks and I noticed the report file " MyApplicatoin+MemoryManager_EventLog.txt" is not deleted automatically once I have amended the source and I run my application again. This way if there are still memory leaks they are added to the existing report and this confuses me.

Is there an option in FastMM4 to achieve that I am not aware of or do I have to rely on DeleteFile(...) when I run the application ?

 

Many thanks

Alberto

It's automatically deleted here. Try setting up a brand new app and check how it behaves there.

I did and created this test:

program Project3;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
  FastMM4,
  system.Classes,
  System.SysUtils;

  var t:tstringlist;
begin
    t:=TStringList.Create;
end.

I ran it a number of times and the new reports are appended to the old ones. Obviously there must be something wrong in my FastMM4  settings. I will look into that.

This can be changed via the

FastMM4Options.inc

file if I remember correctly (sorry not a a development machine to be more precise) and possible with directives defined in the project.

The settings is 

{.$define ClearLogFileOnStartup}

looked up the inc file on GitHub.

Thank you David, this did the trick !
