Does Visual Studio frees memory if I interrupt debugging?

Question

Does Visual Studio (I'm using the 2010 edition) frees the memory when I interrupt debugging and some of the free(memory_pointer) instructions are not yet called?

I think it does but I prefer having a confirmation first

Answer 1

When you interrupt debugging, it won't free any memory because you might want to continue later ...

If you abort debugging, Visual Studio detaches the debugger and aborts the process. In this case, the OS will take care of releasing all resources (i.e. memory, file handles) allocated to the process.
