Hi Rob, Is there any way to get more information about the objects it says have leaked?
I'm surprised that your tool is showing objects being freed on exit that aren't freed by deleting outp and calling google::protobuf::ShutdownProtobufLibrary(). I don't think the protobuf library installs any kind of atexit() handlers or anything like that, so anything that's not getting freed by ShutdownProtobufLibrary() and outp probably isn't getting freed by any part of the protobuf library. Also I'd be really surprised if ParseFromArray() was leaking hundreds of objects. If you can get any more information from your memory profiler, it would be easier to help explain what you are seeing.
