Inquiries.
A module created in VC++ has a daemon that gets the node information in WMI.
This module is experiencing a memory leak.
I created a test program to get the values of VirtualSize and WorkingSetSize repeatedly with reference to the following site
The test program also showed a memory leak when I created
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/example-creating-a-wmi-application
Below are the results of 20,000 attempts.
VirtualSize is 7340032 bytes, 702,728,736 bytes increase.
