Handling a GDI Resource Leak

GDI leak (or, simply the usage of too many GDI objects) is one of the most common problems. It eventually causes rendering problems, errors, and/or performance problems. The article describes how we debug this problem. In 2016, when most programs are executed in sandboxes wherefrom even the most incompetent developer cannot harm the system, I am amazed to face the problem I will speak about in this article. Frankly speaking, I hoped that this problem had gone forever together with Win32Api. Nevertheless, I faced it. Before that, I just heard horror stories about it from more experienced developers.
