I was cruising through the Registry on a quest for a program I am working up, and I happened to spot both Sonar and BitBridge in a Registry key that deals with diagnosed memory leaks detected by Windows 8.
 
I am wondering if this means that both of these programs have memory leaks, which seem to me to be not a good thing.
 
Anyone knowledgeable on this area of things?
 
Please note that I am not currently experiencing any issues - it was just unexpected to see those entries, so I thought I would mention seeing them.
 
EDITED - This is an automatic part of RADAR within Windows, since Win 7, and is a Microsoft utility that automatically sends application information back to the software vendor upon potential situations where there was a memory leak.  I suspect I may have had one during testing of an extremely unstable 3rd-party freeware 32-bit synth plugin, as using it crashed everything.  Since BitBridge is also present in this detection artifact, I suspect this entry is related to the failed 32-bit plugin, and not really a problem within Sonar itself.

What was the address of the hive in the registry? I'm curious as well. It could be plugins indirectly causing this? I would expect a lot of plugins to be leaky.

Cheers...

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RADAR\HeapLeakDetection

So I got
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RADAR\HeapLeakDetection\DiagnosedApplications\SONARPDR.exe (I don't use bitbridge).
 
The LastDetectionTime value was 1cf228f17a4abf3
 
I went to this website:
http://www.silisoftware.com/tools/date.php
 
Entered in the value and selected "FileTime" in the dropdown.
 
This came up with April 22 2009, which is weird because X1 is the earliest version installed on this machine which came out in 2010! Maybe time was leaking !
 
UPDATE - Appears this website does not give a correct conversion ... So I guess I need to convert this value properly.
 
ANOTHER UPDATE - OK I need to convert from hex to decimal before entering into website and it came up with 7th March 2014... Hmmm...

Thanks for the converter link, Alex.
 
I thought the two occurrences from Sonar and Bitbridge were from the same event, but they are not.
 
The Sonar date was January 26, 2014
 
The Bitbridge date was December 11, 2013
 
So, maybe there was something going on  - it is encouraging that I do not have any recent reporting of memory leaks.  :)
 
I will remove my Never Mind from the subject line, so maybe someone else can weigh in on these.

Casting bitbridge aside more convinced than ever it's plugins with Sonar.exe as we hold quite different dates.

Could well be.  Perhaps a wandering Cakewalk dude/dudette will happen across this thread and weigh in on it.
