Hi I have a mysql server: mysqld Ver 3.23.33 for pc-linux-gnu on i686 I use C API to communicate with database, a simple connection could look like this: ---------------------- test.c -------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <mysql/mysql.h> int main() { MYSQL *conn; conn = mysql_init(NULL); if (!mysql_real_connect (conn, "host", "user", "pass", "database", 0, NULL, 0)) { printf("%s\n", mysql_error(conn)); return 1; } mysql_close(conn); return 0; } --------------------------------------------------------- and compilation: gcc test.c -o test -lmysqlclient -g At the software creating, it's worth using (at least for tests) functions from header <mcheck.h>. It's very usefull for finding memory leaks. Now, take a look at second example: ----------------- test2.c ---------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <mysql/mysql.h> #include <mcheck.h> /* mtrace(); muntrace(); */ int main() { MYSQL *conn; setenv("MALLOC_TRACE","/tmp/mtrace.log",1); mtrace(); conn = mysql_init(NULL); if (!mysql_real_connect (conn, "host", "user", "pass", "database", 0, NULL, 0)) { printf("%s\n", mysql_error(conn)); return 1; } mysql_close(conn); muntrace(); return 0; } --------------------------------------------------------- after compilation: gcc test2.c -o test2 -lmysqlclient -g program execution: ./test2 and mtrace log parsing: mtrace test2 /tmp/mtrace.log I achieve many lines (76 in fact) of places where memory is not freed. Does anybody knows what is going on ? (it's my fault or it's mysql functions fault or mtrace fault ;-) ?) Any help would be appreciated. - Jakub Trzetrzelewski --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
