<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>

<p>Visual&nbsp;C++ provides built-in memory leak detection, but its capabilities are minimal at best. This memory leak
   detector was created as a free alternative to the built-in memory leak detector provided with Visual&nbsp;C++. Here
   are some of Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector's features, none of which exist in the built-in detector:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Provides a complete stack trace for each leaked block, including source file and line number information when
        available.</li>

    <li>Detects most, if not all, types of in-process memory leaks including COM-based leaks, and pure Win32 heap-based
    leaks.</li>

    <li>Selected modules (DLLs or even the main EXE) can be excluded from leak detection.</li>

    <li>Provides complete data dumps (in hex and ASCII) of leaked blocks.</li>

    <li>Customizable memory leak report: can be saved to a file or sent to the debugger and can include a variable level
    of detail.</li>
</ul>

<p>Other after-market leak detectors for Visual&nbsp;C++ are already available. But most of the really popular ones,
   like Purify and BoundsChecker, are very expensive. A few free alternatives exist, but they're often too intrusive,
   restrictive, or unreliable. Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector is currently the only freely available memory leak
   detector for Visual C++ that provides all of the above professional-level features packaged neatly in an easy-to-use
   library.</p>

<p>Visual Leak Detector is <a href="#license">licensed</a> free of charge as a service to the Windows developer
   community. If you find it to be useful and would like to just say "Thanks!", or you think it stinks and would like to
   say "This thing sucks!", please feel free to <a href="mailto:dmoulding@gmail.com">drop me a note</a>. Or, if you'd
   prefer, you can <a href="#contact">contribute a small donation</a>. Both are very appreciated.</p>




<h2 id="use">Using Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector</h2>

<p>This section briefly describes the basics of using Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector (VLD).</p>

<p><strong>Important! :</strong> Before using VLD with any Visual C++ project, you must first add the Visual Leak
   Detector include and library directories to the Visual C++ include and library directory search paths:</p>

<ul>
    <li><strong>Visual&nbsp;C++ 8 and 9</strong>: Go to Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories.
        Select "Include files" from the "Show Directories For" drop-down menu. Add the
        <span class="filename">include</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak Detector installation directory. Move it
        to the bottom of the list. Then select "Library files" from the drop-down menu and add the
        <span class="filename">lib</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak Detector installation directory. Again, move
        it to the bottom of the list.</li>
        
    <li><strong>Visual&nbsp;C++ 7</strong>: Go to Project Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include
        Directories and add the <span class="filename">include</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak Detector
        installation directory. Move it to the bottom of the list. Then select Additional Library Directories and add
        the <span class="filename">lib</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak Detector installation directory. Again,
        move it to the bottom of the list.</li>

    <li><strong>Visual&nbsp;C++ 6</strong>: Go to Tools -> Options -> Directories. Select "Include files" from
        the "Show Directories For" drop-down menu. Add the <span class="filename">include</span> subdirectory
        from the Visual Leak Detector installation directory. Move it to the bottom of the list. Then select "Library
        files" from the drop-down menu and add the <span class="filename">lib</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak
        Detector installation directory. Again, move it to the bottom of the list.</li>
</ul>
        
<p>To use VLD with your project, follow these simple steps:</p>

<ol>
    <li>In at least one C/C++ source file from your program, include the <span class="filename">vld.h</span> header
        file. It should not matter which file you add the include statement to. It also should not matter in what order
        the header is included in relation to other headers. The only exception is
        <span class="filename">stdafx.h</span> (or any other precompiled header). A precompiled header, such as
        <span class="filename">stdafx.h</span>, must always be the first header included in a source file, so
        <span class="filename">vld.h</span> must be included after any precompiled headers.</li>

    <li>If your program contains one or more DLLs that you would also like to check for memory leaks, then also include
        <span class="filename">vld.h</span> in at least one source file from each DLL to be included in leak
        detection.</li>

    <li>Build the debug version of your program.</li>
</ol>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Unlike earlier (pre-1.9) versions of VLD, it is now acceptable to include
   <span class="filename">vld.h</span> in every source file, or to include it in a common header that is included by
   many or all source files. Only one copy of the VLD code will be loaded into the process, regardless of how many
   source files include <span class="filename">vld.h</span>.</p>

<p>VLD will detect memory leaks in your program whenever you run the debug version. When you run the program under the
   Visual&nbsp;C++ debugger, a report of all the memory leaks detected will be displayed in the debugger's output window
   when your program exits (the report can optionally be saved to a file instead, see
   <span class="option">ReportFile</span> under <a href="#configure">Configuration Options</a>). Double-clicking on a
   source file's line number in the memory leak report will take you to that file and line in the editor window,
   allowing easy navigation of the code path leading up to the allocation that resulted in the memory leak.</p>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> When you build release versions of your program, VLD will not be linked into the
   executable. So it is safe to leave <span class="filename">vld.h</span> included in your source files when doing
   release builds. Doing so will not result in any performance degradation or any other undesirable overhead.</p>




<h2 id="configure">Configuration Options</h2>

<p>There are a several configuration options that control specific aspects of VLD's operation. These configuration
   options are stored in the <span class="filename">vld.ini</span> configuration file. By default, the configuration
   file should be in the Visual Leak Detector installation directory. However, the configuration file can be copied to
   the program's working directory, in which case the configuration settings in that copy of
   <span class="filename">vld.ini</span> will apply only when debugging that one program.</p>

<dl>
    <dt class="option">VLD</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>This option acts as a master on/off switch. By default, this option is set to "on". To <em>completely
        disable</em> Visual Leak Detector at runtime, set this option to "off". When VLD is turned off using this
        option, it will do nothing but print a message to the debugger indicating that it has been turned off.</p>
    </dd>
    
    <dt class="option">AggregateDuplicates</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>Normally, VLD displays each individual leaked block in detail. Setting this option to "yes" will make VLD
           aggregate all leaks that share the same size and call stack under a single entry in the memory leak report.
           Only the first leaked block will be reported in detail. No other identical leaks will be displayed. Instead,
           a tally showing the total number of leaks matching that size and call stack will be shown. This can be useful
           if there are only a few sources of leaks, but those few sources are repeatedly leaking a very large number of
           memory blocks.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">ForceIncludeModules</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>In some rare cases, it may be necessary to include a module in leak detection, but it may not be possible to
           include <span class="filename">vld.h</span> in any of the module's sources. In such cases, this option can be
           used to force VLD to include those modules in leak detection. List the names of the modules (DLLs) to be
           forcefully included in leak detection. If you do use this option, it's advisable to also add
           <span class="filename">vld.lib</span> to the list of library modules in the linker options of your project's
           settings.</p>

        <p class="note"><strong>Caution:</strong> Use this option only when absolutely necessary. In some situations,
           use of this option may result in unpredictable behavior including false leak reports and/or crashes. It's
           best to stay away from this option unless you are sure you understand what you are doing.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">MaxDataDump</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>Set this option to an integer value to limit the amount of data displayed in memory block data dumps. When
           this number of bytes of data have been dumped, the dump will stop. This can be useful if any of the leaked
           blocks are very large and the debugger's output window becomes too cluttered. You can set this option to 0
           (zero) if you want to suppress data dumps altogether.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">MaxTraceFrames</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>By default, VLD will trace the call stack for each allocated block as far back as possible. Each frame traced
           adds additional overhead (in both CPU time and memory usage) to your debug executable. If you'd like to limit
           this overhead, you can define this macro to an integer value. The stack trace will stop when it has traced
           this number of frames. The frame count may include some of the "internal" frames which, by default, are not
           displayed in the debugger's output window (see <span class="option">TraceInternalFrames</span> below). In
           some cases there may be about three or four "internal" frames at the beginning of the call stack. Keep this
           in mind when using this macro, or you may not see the number of frames you expect.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">ReportEncoding</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>When the memory leak report is saved to a file, the report may optionally be Unicode encoded instead of using
           the default ASCII encoding. This might be useful if the data contained in leaked blocks is likely to consist
           of Unicode text. Set this option to "unicode" to generate a Unicode encoded report.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">ReportFile</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>Use this option to specify the name and location of the file in which to save the memory leak report when
           using a file as the report destination, as specified by the <span class="option">ReportTo</span> option. If
           no file is specified here, then VLD will save the report in a file named "memory_leak_report.txt" in the
           working directory of the program.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">ReportTo</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>The memory leak report may be sent to a file in addition to, or instead of, the debugger. Use this option to
           specify which type of destination to use. Specify one of "debugger" (the default), "file", or "both".</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">SelfTest</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>VLD has the ability to check itself for memory leaks. This feature is always active. Every time you run VLD,
           in addition to checking your own program for memory leaks, it is also checking itself for leaks. Setting this
           option to "on" forces VLD to intentionally leak a small amount of memory: a 21-character block filled with
           the text "Memory Leak Self-Test". This provides a way to test VLD's ability to check itself for memory leaks
           and verify that this capability is working correctly. This option is usually only useful for debugging VLD
           itself.</p>
    </dd>
    
    <dt class="option">SlowDebuggerDump</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>If enabled, this option causes Visual Leak Detector to write the memory leak report to the debugger's output
           window at a slower than normal rate. This option is specifically designed to work around a known issue with
           some older versions of Visual Studio where some data sent to the output window might be lost if it is sent
           too quickly. If you notice that some information seems to be missing from the memory leak report, try turning
           this on.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">StackWalkMethod</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>Selects the method to be used for walking the stack to obtain call stacks for allocated memory blocks. The
           default "fast" method may not always be able to successfully trace completely through all call stacks. In
           such cases, the "safe" method may prove to be more reliable in obtaining the full stack trace. The
           disadvantage with the "safe" method is that it is significantly slower than the "fast" method and will
           probably result in very noticeable performance degradation of the program being debugged. In most cases it
           should be okay to leave this option set to "fast". If you experience problems getting VLD to show call
           stacks, you can try setting this option to "safe".</p>

        <p>If you do use the "safe" method, and notice a significant performance decrease, you may want to consider
           using the <span class="option">MaxTraceFrames</span> option to limit the number of frames traced to a
           relatively small number. This can reduce the amount of time spent tracing the stack by a very large
           amount.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">StartDisabled</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>Set this option to "yes" to disable memory leak detection initially. This can be useful if you need to be
           able to selectively enable memory leak detection from runtime, without needing to rebuild the executable;
           however, this option should be used with caution. Any memory leaks that may occur before memory leak
           detection is enabled at runtime will go undetected. For example, if the constructor of some global variable
           allocates memory before execution reaches a subsequent call to <span class="function">VLDEnable</span>, then
           VLD will not be able to detect if the memory allocated by the global variable is never freed. Refer to the
           following section on <a href="#control">controlling leak detection at runtime</a> for details on using the
           runtime APIs which can be useful in conjunction with this option.</p>
    </dd>

    <dt class="option">TraceInternalFrames</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>This option determines whether or not all frames of the call stack, including frames internal to the heap,
           are traced. There will always be a number of frames on the call stack which are internal to Visual Leak
           Detector and C/C++ or Win32 heap APIs that aren't generally useful for determining the cause of a leak.
           Normally these frames are skipped during the stack trace, which somewhat reduces the time spent tracing and
           amount of data collected and stored in memory. Including all frames in the stack trace, all the way down into
           VLD's own code can, however, be useful for debugging VLD itself.</p>
    </dd>
</dl>




<h2 id="control">Controlling Leak Detection at Runtime</h2>

<p>Using the default configuration, VLD's memory leak detection will be enabled during the entire run of your program.
   In certain scenarios it may be desirable to selectively disable memory leak detection in certain segments of your
   code. VLD provides simple APIs for controlling the state of memory leak detection at runtime. To access these APIs,
   include <span class="filename">vld.h</span> in the source file that needs to use them.</p>

<dl>
    <dt class="api">VLDDisable</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>This function disables memory leak detection. After calling this function, memory leak detection will remain
           disabled until it is explicitly re-enabled via a call to VLDEnable.</p>

        <p>None (this function always succeeds).</p>

        <h3>Notes:</h3>

        <p>This function controls memory leak detection on a per-thread basis. In other words, calling this function
           disables memory leak detection for only the thread that called the function. Memory leak detection will
           remain enabled for any other threads in the same process. This insulates the programmer from having to
           synchronize multiple threads that disable and enable memory leak detection. However, note also that this
           means that in order to disable memory leak detection process-wide, this function must be called from every
           thread in the process.</p>

    <dt class="api">VLDEnable</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>This function enables memory leak detection if it was previously disabled. After calling this function,
           memory leak detection will remain enabled unless it is explicitly disabled again via a call to
           VLDDisable().</p>

<h2 id="build">Building Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector from Source</h2>

<p>Because Visual&nbsp;Leak&nbsp;Detector is open source, it can be built from source if you want to tweak it to your
   liking. As of Visual Studio 2008, the source can usually be built out-of-the-box without downloading or installing
   any other tools. If you are using Visual Studio 2008 (or later), you can skip ahead to
   <a href="#exec">Executing Your Built vld.dll</a>.

<p>Users with older versions of Visual Studio should continue reading here and follow the instructions in the next
   subsection.</p>

<h3>For Older Versions of Visual Studio</h3>

<p>The most difficult part about building VLD from source is getting your build environment correctly set up.
   But if you follow these instructions carefully, the  process should be fairly painless.</p>

<ol>
    <li>VLD depends on the Debug Help Library. This library is part of
        <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx">Debugging Tools for Windows</a> (DTfW).
        Download and install DTfW in order to install the required headers and libraries. I recommend installing version
        6.5 of DTfW, or later. Newer versions tend to  work fine, but older versions will probably not work. Be sure to
        manually select to install the SDK files during the DTfW installation or the headers and libraries will not be
        installed (they are not always installed with a default installation).</li>

    <li>Visual&nbsp;C++ will need to be made aware of where it can find the Debug Help Library header and library files.
        Add the <span class="filename">sdk\inc</span> and <span class="filename">sdk\lib</span> subdirectories from the
        DTfW installation directory to the include and library search paths in Visual&nbsp;C++. (See the section above
        on <a href="#use">using Visual Leak Detector</a> on instructions for adding to these search paths).
    </li>

    <li>VLD also requires a reasonably up-to-date Platform&nbsp;SDK. It is known to work with the latest SDK (as of this
        writing) which is the Windows Server 2003 R2 SDK. It should also work with earlier SDKs, such as the Windows XP
        SP2 SDK or may even work with SDKs as old as the February 2003 SDK. If in doubt,
        <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&amp;displaylang=en">update
        your Platform&nbsp;SDK</a> to the latest version.</li>

    <li>Again, Visual&nbsp;C++ will need to know where to find the Platform&nbsp;SDK headers and libraries. Add the
        <span class="filename">Include</span> and <span class="filename">Lib</span> subdirectories from the
        Platform&nbsp;SDK installation directory to the Include and Library search paths, respectively. The
        Platform&nbsp;SDK directories should be placed just after the DTfW directories.</li>
</ol>

<p>To summarize, your Visual&nbsp;C++ include search path should look something like this:</p>

<ul class="vcsearchpath">
   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Debugging&nbsp;Tools&nbsp;for&nbsp;Windows\sdk\inc</li>

   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Microsoft&nbsp;Platform&nbsp;SDK\Include</li>

   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Microsoft&nbsp;Visual&nbsp;Studio\VCx\Include</li>
   
   <li>...</li>
</ul>

<p>And your Visual&nbsp;C++ library search path should look like this:</p>

<ul class="vcsearchpath">
   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Debugging&nbsp;Tools&nbsp;for&nbsp;Windows\sdk\lib</li>

   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Microsoft&nbsp;Platform&nbsp;SDK\Lib</li>

   <li>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Microsoft&nbsp;Visual&nbsp;Studio\VCx\Lib</li>
   
   <li>...</li>
</ul>

<p>In the above examples, "VCx" could be "VC", "VC7", or "VC98" (or possibly other values) depending on which version of
   Visual Studio you have installed. Also, the name of your Platform&nbsp;SDK directory will probably be different from
   the example depending on which version of the Platform&nbsp;SDK you have installed.</p>

<p>Once you have completed all of the above steps, your build environment should be ready. To build VLD, just open the
   <span class="filename">vld.sln</span> solution file and do a full build.</p>

<h3 id="exec">Executing Your Built vld.dll</h3>

<p>When actually running the built project, <span class="filename">vld.dll</span> will expect to find the Debug Help
   Library as a private assembly. The private assembly must be located in the same directory as
   <span class="filename">vld.dll</span> (either the <span class="filename">Release</span> or
   <span class="filename">Debug</span> directory by default). Otherwise, when VLD is loaded, an error message will pop
   up indicating that the program failed to initialize, and you will see a message similar to the following in the
   debugger's output window:</p>
   <blockquote><p>LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe C:\Projects\vld\Release\vld.dll for its manifest,
   ntstatus 0xc0150002</p></blockquote>
   
<p>To ensure that <span class="filename">vld.dll</span> finds the required private assembly, you need to copy
   <span class="filename">dbghelp.dll</span> and <span class="filename">Microsoft.DTfW.DHL.manifest</span> to the
   same directory that <span class="filename">vld.dll</span> is in.</p>




<h2 id="x64">Windows x64 Support</h2>

<p>Currently VLD will not build on x64 due to limitations of the x64 compiler. Some efforts have been undertaken to
   get it working in a 64-bit environment, but have not yet been successful. If you need 64-bit support and run into
   problems trying to build the source in 64-bit mode, please <a href="mailto:dmoulding@gmail.com">let me know</a>.
   I'll be glad to assist in getting the 64-bit code working properly, if at all possible.</p>




<h2 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>

<dl>
    <dt>When I try to compile my program with VLD, it fails and the compiler gives this error: <strong>Cannot open include file:
    'vld.h': No such file or directory</strong>.</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>The compiler can't find the header file that VLD installed. This probably means that VLD's include
        subdirectory has not been added to the Visual C++ include search path. See the section above about
        <a href="#use">Using Visual Leak Detector</a> for instructions on how to add VLD's directories to the search
        path.</p>
    </dd>
    <dt>In the memory leak report, the callstack contains many lines that say
        <strong>"File and line number unvailable"</strong> or <strong>"Function name unavailable"</strong>.</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>This may mean that VLD couldn't find the symbol database for your program. The symbol database is ususally in
           a file named <span class="filename">[my-program-name].pdb</span>. If this file is not located in the same
           directory as the program itself, then VLD will probably not find it and can't show any file or function
           names.</p>
    </dd>
</dl>




<h2 id="restrictions">Known Restrictions</h2>

<p>Known restrictions/limitations in this version of VLD include:</p>

<ul>
   <li>Memory allocations made through calls to functions loaded from a DLL using delayed loading may not be
       detected.</li> 

   <li>Support for programs that use MFC 7.0 or MFC 7.1 is not complete yet. Some memory leaks from such MFC-based
       programs may not be detected. A possible workaround for this restriction is to try forcefully including the MFC
       DLLs in memory leak detection, by setting the <span class="option">ForceIncludeModules</span> configuration
       option to: "mfc70d.dll mfc71d.dll" and explicitly adding <span class="filename">vld.lib</span> as an input file
       on the linker command line (can be added through project settings by adding it to the list of library modules in
       the linker options). This restriction does not apply to programs that use MFC 4.2, MFC 8.0, or MFC 9.0, which are
       all fully supported.</li>
       
   <li>Visual Leak Detector may report leaks internal to Visual Leak Detector if the main thread of the process
       terminates while other threads are still running.</li>
       
   <li>On Windows 2000 and earlier operating systems, you may need to manually add the
       <span class="filename">bin</span> subdirectory from the Visual Leak Detector installation directory to the system
       PATH environment variable. Also, <span class="filename">dbghelp.dll</span> will probably need to be manually copied
       to the directory where the program being debugged resides. Otherwise the system may not find the required DLLs when
       running VLD.</li>
       
    <li>If more than one copy of the same C Runtime DLL is loaded in the process at the same time, then some leaks may
        go undetected (note that loading more than one copy of the C Runtime DLL at the same time is probably a bad idea
        to begin with).</li>
</ul>

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
