#108 memory leak on 'dump master' command.

[Gary Setter]

The program leaks memory when the 'dump master'
command is given.

Note that the Dict (aka Dictionary) object is not
released after it is used.

More specific info:

This is good. I had a leak, found it and I don't know why you
didn't have one. It centers on how your global cache works.

This is my new dump master code, note the new like with todays
date.

} else if (action == do_dump) {

EXIT_ON_ERR_SET(add_data_set(config->retrieve("master-path"),
*config), Dict *, d);
StackPtr<Convert> conv(setup_conv(d->lang(), config));
dump(d, conv);
d->release(); //31-Oct-04
}

What you may have intended, was to keep the Dict (aka
Dictionary)
object in the global cache and let the destructor of the cache
delete it it. But your ~GlobalCacheBase does not release/delete
anything. How come you are not getting a memory leak?

Yes there is a leak.

However, d->release() does not fix it.

I need to study how dictionaries are normally deleted before I can determine the correct way to fix this.

What version of Aspell is this. Use "aspell -v" to find out.
