function JwLocalAllocMem(uFlags: UINT; uBytes: SIZE_T): HLOCAL;
JwLocalAllocMem creates a managed memory handle by LocalAlloc. Some memory leak managers do not recognize leaks created by LocalAlloc and GlobalAlloc. Thus we create for them a GetMem memory block. Replace each call to LocalAlloc/GlobalAlloc with JwLocalAllocMem/JwGlobalAllocMem and their counter parts JwLocalFreeMem/JwGlobalFreeMem. If a counter part is not called and the program halts the memory manager will (hopefully) show the stack trace to the GetMemPointer created by JwLocalAllocMem/JwGlobalAllocMem.
Warning: Do not call JwLocalAllocMem/JwGlobalAllocMem for API functions that will free the handle. GetMemPointer will remain whatsoever. Instead use LocalAlloc/GlobalAlloc. This behavior is rare but the API documentation will (mostly) say it. Refer to MSDN documentation for more information.
