Hello, I'm using the ipmimonitoring library of freeipmi 1.2.9-8.el7.x86_64 on RHEL 7.3 to monitor values of sensors using IPMI in a program. For continued monitoring, the program calls the API ipmi_monitoring_sensor_readings_by_record_id() every period (in my case 10 seconds).
It works fine but for me there is a memory leak issue. Through some tests, I think the issue is being happened on the API ipmi_monitoring_sensor_readings_by_record_id(). For the information, valgrind report is same as below: $ valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --log-file=/tmp/valgrind-ipmimon.txt ./ipmimonitoring-sensors $ cat /tmp/valgrind-ipmimon.txt ==10568== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==10568== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==10568== Using Valgrind-3.11.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==10568== Command: ./ipmimonitoring-sensors ==10568== Parent PID: 25490 ==10568== ==10568== ==10568== Process terminating with default action of signal 2 (SIGINT) ==10568== at 0x592F650: __nanosleep_nocancel (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==10568== by 0x592F503: sleep (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==10568== by 0x401F9F: main (in /home/test/ipmimonitoring-sensors) ==10568== ==10568== HEAP SUMMARY: ==10568== in use at exit: 3,060 bytes in 180 blocks ==10568== total heap usage: 125,321 allocs, 125,141 frees, 264,313,716 bytes allocated ==10568== ==10568== 3,060 (1,440 direct, 1,620 indirect) bytes in 90 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2 of 2 ==10568== at 0x4C28BE3: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299) ==10568== by 0x5DC25F1: ipmi_get_event_messages (in /usr/lib64/libfreeipmi.so.13.1.7) ==10568== by 0x4E3F704: ???

I don't know whether it is my fault or freeipmi issue. For the moment I didn't test using latest version as I want to use the freeipmi version 1.2.9-8 which is bundled on RHEL v7.3. Could you please guide or share any information? Thank you very much in advance.
