Problem. I have inherited a large C++ 3D graphics codebase (with some shader code). The program runs for about 1-5 minutes before crashing. Problem Data. Using system tools, one can see a sharp rise in VRAM memory usage after the program launches, which eclipses into a crash. The same is true for GTT memory usage also (although the spike isn't quite as dramatic as with the VRAM).Questions.Does this (probably) mean that there is a memory leak in OpenGL shader code somewhere (as opposed to a leak in regular C++ code)?Are there well-known tools for tracking down vram/gtt memory leaks (similar to the way that valgrind can be used to track down system memory usage)?
How can I chase down VRAM & GTT memory leaks?
