This got me to thinking on something:

An old problem that I really haven't found a solution to. Is there a good way to do resource leak detection in Windows? I really haven't encountered anything to that effect in any of the languages I've worked with, and I'd have to think it would be a Windows API/System solution. Even with simple memory usage, the way Windows is makes it so the old trick I used to use in DOS of checking memory before and after doesn't work.

So, is there a way to do this with any and all resources a program might use so you can put a debugging check at the end of a program regarding this issue?

GetProcessHandleCount()?
