Visual Leak Detector is very cool. Great open source project. It is on CodePlex (https://vld.codeplex.com/) but since that is shutting down it appears to have moved to GIT (https://github.com/developkits/VisualLeakDetector).
The latest version (2.5.1) didn’t originally work fully with Visual Studio. BY default it only listed offsets versus full function names and line numbers.
Luckily I found a real useful post on CodePlex that explained how to “fix” it at https://vld.codeplex.com/discussions/662076.
Basically you need to copy the new VS2017 dbghelp.dll files to the proper folders.
Specifically look in the folder
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\<VERSION>\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions\CppUnitFramework
for dbghelp.dll (32 bit version) and x64\dbghelp.dll (64 bit version)
and copy them to
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Visual Leak Detector\bin\Win32 (32 bit version)
and
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Visual Leak Detector\bin\Win64 (64 bit version)
