I am experiencing strange heaptrc output can someone please explain what sort of error could trigger this

Heap dump by heaptrc unit
6590 memory blocks allocated : 6484894/6508528
6590 memory blocks freed     : 6484894/6508528 0 unfreed memory blocks : 0
True heap size : 229376
True free heap : 282512
Should be : 229376

Unless heap trace reports that there are unfreed blocks, there is no error. The fact that the other numbers don't match up exactly is due to allocations that occur before the heaptrc unit is initialized (e.g., in the startup code of the system unit).

thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really explain why this error is suddenly occurring. I am working on a layout manager to control pages within a form. when the first page is added to the first manager no problem. a second page to the first manager no problem. a second page to the second manager the error occurs and continues to grow with each page added. there is no difference code wise just different managers

Maybe it's a good idea to indicate you're crossposting to the forum and the FPC mailing list...

Also, giving your FPC,Lazarus version, OS,widgetset may help people in answering your questions...

Anyway, I think Jonas indicated the heaptrc output you gave is NOT an error... so perhaps you can expand on what the error you're seeing??
