Hi,
Thanks both for testing the example :-)
Out of old habit I've been running configure like this: ./configure --enable-warnings --with-defaults=debug --with-malloc=checked
I've tried without these arguments now, and the leak disappeared in the test_octstr example.
But the sqlbox code that runs the same kind of loop still leak memory without the debug params. I guess I have some debugging left :-(

I tested (simply just by watching top output) the code below... and there doesn't appear to be a memory leak. I used the latest CVS code and rebuilt the lib .a files too.

Hi,
Read your posting in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list and have a simliar problem myself.
I'm also running SuSE 9.1 and experience a memoryleak which I described in this posting:
http://www.kannel.org/mailman/private/devel/2004-August/020299.html
As Stipe Tolj said it does not show up in valgrind, but the leak is present and increasing as long as the loop is beeing run.
Could you try to run this piece of code and tell me if you also get a memoryleak ?
It could be that the while(run) semantics in your example are equal to the one in the leaking example below.
/* test_octstr.c */
#include <unistd.h> #include "gwlib/gwlib.h"
int main(void) { Octstr *os; int i;
gwlib_init();
while(1) { os = octstr_format("sadfasdfasdfas"); octstr_append(os, octstr_imm("asdfasdfasdfasdf")); octstr_destroy(os); gwthread_sleep(1); }
/* we never get here */ return 0; }
With regards, Ken A. Redergård
