"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"Its working FABULOUSLY for me!! Holy cow...there has been so much I've been missing lately, and with this feed and Linnsoft software...I'm in the game now." - Comment from Chris R.

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"I just wanted to let u know that your data feed/service is by far the best!!! Your unfiltered tick data is excellent for reading order flow and none of your competitors delivers this quality of data!" - Comment from Peter via Email

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

Author	Topic: IQFeed Client and IPWorks - Free Heap Block Error (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
peterjslater -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: May 8, 2012	Posted: May 8, 2012 01:45 AM Msg. 1 of 3 Hi I am a 3rd party developer using ipworks (http://www.nsoftware.com/ipworks/) TCP/IP Delphi component to connect to IQFeed 4.8 ( using sockets on localhost (127.0.0.1) I am making a request for history to the IQFeed client (HD,... ) and once the history is received, I disconnect the socket and free the socket connection. PROBLEM: After I free the socket (IPWorks Socket) in our program, IQFeed outputs the following in the outputdebug log. HEAP[???.exe] HEAP: Free Heap block 1da81da0 modified at 1da81e2c after it was freed Ignoring Non-user Breakpoint at $76FD04E5. If I do not free the socket (and cause a memory leak) the error does not occur. It appears that IQFeed is modifying some memory after its been free'd. Any thoughts ? p.s. When this error occurs we sometime get random memory problems in the program as the memory that is over written is sometimes being used by something else.

What is outputting the debug log? Other than the fact that it happens when you shut down your end of the socket, do you have anything that points to this actually being something in IQConnect as opposed to the socket control you are using?
