Main reason for use is to test Windows applications that cannot be tested under Linux (e.g. with AddressSanitizer, ThreadSanitizer, Valgrind) and to test the Windows only parts of an application.
An other reason is the low overhead with I/O bound (e.g. TCP/IP) applications or Qt GUI applications. A real world test with a TCP/IP application shows a slowdown of 10 %, with option "--callstacks=false" only 5 %.
BugInsight can be used manually and automated in a CI system. BugInsight does not need to be linked and no rebuilding of the application is needed.
BugInsight uses (improved) parts from Visual Leak Detector for memory leak finding. The deadlock detection algorithm is from the C++ library Abseil.
Lock watchdog: The time a lock is waiting for a lock or holding a lock is monitored and a log or error is created if a maximum time is exceeded
BugInsight can detect leaks or deadlocks from the following APIs: Monitored APIs. Please report missing APIs. BugInsight monitors all modules (Exe ,DLL) used by application under test excluding modules provided by Windows OS (DLLs with Copyright info: 'Microsoft Corporation', e.g. Kernel32.dll). BugInsight does not yet monitor handle leaks.
