is it memory leak or something else ?

[lamoda]

iam use cppcheck 2.8 windows

iam run gui analyze the local folder of FarManager project
https://github.com/FarGroup/FarManager/tree/master/far
and stop analyze when analyze run at file sqllite

when i look at processchacker
i see the cppcheck consume a lotof memory ~800Mb
and this memory was not release when i start analyze another project

is it memory leak ? and how to fix this

[Daniel Marjamäki]

I don't know. yes it sounds like a lot of memory.

I also tested a little. analysing cppcheck code. it does look suspicious. the ctu information is something that might increase during the analysis but I would think that should be cleaned up somehow after the analysis.

I have created ticket https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/11138

I have run with valgrind and it says there is no leak. so I closed the ticket. The memory usage reports in linux can be misleading, Cached memory is reported as used. So my guess is that this is what we saw.
