Attached in the previous mail is a sample Python coprocessing script
that exhibits the problem (written by the coprocessing script
generator of git-master as of today).

Subject: Unreclaimed memory in coprocessing? (PV 3.12.0 and git-master)

> Hi,
>
> I am having a problem where the memory usage of my simulation program
> which links with the PV coprocessing library grows until it gets
> killed by the operating system.
>
> I have the following piece of code for triggering coprocessing and if
> I watch the memory usage with the ps/top commands it grows only at the
> timestep where this->Processor->CoProcess() is called. My simulation
> program uses vtkImageData as underlying data structure so no data
> format adaptation (that may involve allocating extra memory for data
> copy) is performed.
>
> this->DataDescription->SetTimeData(this->TimeInfo->GetTimeValue(),
> this->TimeInfo->GetTIter());
> if (this->Processor->RequestDataDescription(this->DataDescription))
> {
> vtkCPInputDataDescription *idd
> = this->DataDescription->GetInputDescriptionByName("input");
> // obtain vtkImageData to coprocess from my simulation program
> vtkImageData *grid = this->TimeInfo->GetGrid();
> idd->SetWholeExtent(grid->GetWholeExtent());
> idd->SetGrid(grid);
> // now call the coprocessing library
> this->Processor->CoProcess(this->DataDescription);
> }
>
> Besides, the Apple's "leaks" tool shows no meaningful leaks which
> makes me wonder if e.g. there are un-unregistered proxies than simply
> unmatched New()/Delete() or new/delete pairs.
>
> The problem is same for PV 3.12.0 and the git master as of today.
> Is anybody else having the problem? Any ideas?
