We3ll, compiler is telling you that somehow you defined THIS_FILE more
than once. Without seeing all of the code you have, nobody can tell
where exactly is the problem. Is it possible that you put these macros
in a header file?

You have to tell people here what "crashes" mean more specifically.
You can gather much, much more info on "crashes". Where exactly is the
crash, in your sources? What is the crash? OS exception (e.g. access
violation) etc. How does your stack look like when crash occurs? Etc.

Don't be helpless. Look harder.

Girish, for what it's worth, all of my cpp files (created by earlier
versions of MFC), have this code near the top (and compiles fine with
debug or release builds):

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW

#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

Not the pragma you showed. And so to Joe, the undef THIS_FILE was put
there by MFC...

As to finding your memory leak, I sometimes resort to the caveman-like
approach of removing blocks of code. I save a copy of my source code
(the entire folder), delete a big chunk of code (that will still allow
my app to run), see if it still leaks, and repeat until I can narrow
down what is causing the leak. This approach isn't guaranteed to
isolate the problem, but it usually works for me.

This article may also be useful to OP:

http://www.codeproject.com/kb/cpp/MemLeakDetect.aspx

I've, like you, often resort to the brute force method, just using Task
Manager and looking for blocks in the debug build that show up at the end of
the run in the Output window and things like that...

Hi All,
First I need to say thanks for every one for proving your ideas.
I got the solution for the problem which i was facing.

by setting the below variables to 0

#define _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING 0
#define _SECURE_SCL 0

after define this we can remove the below code and build the
application with out any error or any crash.

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
#pragma once
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif


Regards,
Girish

While changing the project setting from /md to /mdd or /mt to /mtd we
should make sure that all the dependency dll and modules are in the
same form i.e in debug mode if not then we would be facing this type
of problem .
in this case we could not use some of debugging functions like
_CrtMemCheckpoint to use this type function we need to define
#define _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING 0
#define _SECURE_SCL 0

which could give some ASSERT msg which would not crash be an issue.

Girish
