Question about virtual memory when using application verifier

Question

 

Dear All

 

  When I use application verifier to test my application. I found it will throw exception and failed. This exception is from _beginthreadex or new operation. And I get API to print memory information. I found my applicaiton will use more phy-memory and virtual memory than before when I laungh appverifier. 

  And still I found the unusal memory situation. The virtual memory will be occupied to leave only 17-18MB (without appVerifier it will leave almost 500-1000MB,) I really don't know why it uses so much virtual memory and doesn't free them.

  Please help me about this question, why it uses more virtual memory and phy-memory when launching appVerifier than without appverifier. And how I can fix this problem. Thanks a lot.

If you are still encountering this issue, please re-post this on the Application Verifier support page: microsoft.public.win32.programmer.tools 

 

You did not mention which version you were using, but the version that shipped in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 is older than the version you can download from here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644353(VS.85).aspx.
