Hi,

Allthough CodeGuard doesn't report it, this function leaks memory:

  BSTR string2BSTR( const string & input )
  {

    int destSize = input.size() + 1;
    wchar_t * rc;
    wchar_t * wc = new wchar_t[destSize];
    BSTR res;

    rc = ::StringToWideChar(input.c_str(), wc, destSize);

    if( rc == wc )
      {
        // it worked
        res = ::SysAllocString(wc);
      }
    else
      {
        // it didn't
        res = ::SysAllocString(L"");
      }

    delete[] wc;
    return res;
  }

I can't find the error... What am I doing wrong? O:-)
Thanks
