GetModuleHandle function stack overflow and memory leaks in VC++

[rajatchhibber]

I am using GetModuleHandle in my function. That function gets called every time I do an operation. I want to know if that function gets called again and again, will the GetModuleHandle cause stack overflow or memory leaks. Thanks.

void Myfunc(int iCtrlID)
{
HINSTANCE hinst = GetModuleHandle ("r.dll");
s.LoadString(hi nst, iCtrlID);
//
more code here
//
}

put a break point in it and run it in debug mode?
or add some kind of logging function, then you know immediatly when it gets called.

GetModuleHandle function stack overflow and memory leaks in VC++

Thanks for the reply Airlash. I know when it is getting called and when the break point is hit. But I am not able to figure out if GetModuleHandle is causing any stack overflow and memory leaks. Can anyone help me answer that. Thanks

I would say no stack overflow will not occur even if you call Myfunc zillion time. cause HINSTANCE type variable will be cleared by the c function automatically. But if you ask me to explain I would simply fail. (may be I am wrong)
