dan clark commented on QPID-8134:
---------------------------------
The application is a daemon, so it never exits. As you found, valigrind
indeed shows no growth when the proper wrap-up logic is run, that's
excellent, but not the actual use case.
The actual use case is the daemon starts up and runs 24x7x365 never
closing. I hope you will find that if you run the application with the
exit, that the count of messages leaked and reported by valgrind goes up
proportional to the number of messages created and sent, leaking both the
message, the buffer allocated associated with the message and the topic
associated with the message. In the case of shell script "doSubject", the
link behavior is set to: "reliability:at-least-once" (the inverse of
unreliable). I have witnessed very large leaks and the amount of memory
depends on the size of the message sent. So if 1million messages of 10k
are sent, then that is the amount of memory that gets leaked...

> There may be multiple leaks of the outgoing message structure and associated
> fields when using the qpid::client::amqp0_10::SenderImpl::send function to
> publish messages under certain setups. I will concede that there may be
> options that are beyond my ken to ameliorate the leak of messages structures,
> especially since there is an indication that under prolonged runs (a
> demonized version of an application like spout) that the statistics for quidd
> indicate increased acquires with zero releases.
> The basic notion is illustrated with the test application spout (and drain).
> Consider a long running daemon reducing the overhead of open/send/close by
> keeping the message connection open for long periods of time. Then the logic
> would be: start application/open connection. In a loop send data (and never
> reach a close). Thus the drain application illustrates the behavior and
> demonstrates the leak using valgrind by sending the data followed by an
> exit(0).
> Note also the lack of 'releases' associated with the 'acquires' in the stats
> output.
> Capturing the leaks using the test applications spout/drain required adding
> an 'exit()' prior to the close, as during normal operations of a daemon, the
> connection remains open for a sustained period of time, thus the leak of
> structures within the c++ client library are found as structures still
> tracked by the library and cleaned up on 'connection.close()', but they
> should be cleaned up as a result of the completion of the send/receive ack or
> the termination of the life of the message based on the TTL of the message,
> which ever comes first. I have witnessed growth of the leaked structures
> into the millions of messages lasting more than 24hours with short (300sec)
> TTL of the messages based on scenarios attached using spout/drain as test
> vehicle.
> The attached spout.log uses a short 10message test and the spout.log contains
> 5 sets of different structures leaked (found with the 'bytes in 10 blocks are
> still reachable' lines, that are in line with much more sustained leaks when
> running the application for multiple days with millions of messages.
> The leaks seem to be associated with structures allocation 'stdstrings' to
> save the "subject" and the "payload" for string based messages using send for
> amq.topic output.
> Suggested work arounds are welcome based on application level changes to
> spout/drain (if they are missing key components) or changes to the
> address/setup of the queues for amq.topic messages (see the 'gospout.sh and
> godrain.sh' test drivers providing the specific address structures being used.
> For example, the following is one of the 5 different categories of leaked
> data from 'spout.log' on a valgrind analysis of the output post the send and
> session.sync but prior connection.close():
