[Quickfix-developers] Memory leaks for Initiator

[Quek T. W. <qt...@ya...>]

 Hi,
    
    i am currently porting and testing a production quickfix app  from Solaris to AIX 5.2.  The version of quickfix used is 1.10.2  and compiler is VisualAge C++ 6.0
  
    My tests consists of : 
  
     1)  Fix client ( SocketInitiator )
          a)  continuously sends Fix42::NewOrderSingle every second
          b)  receives the execution reports.  Prints out the message
         and does no further processing.
  
     2)  Fix server (SocketAcceptor) 
         -  accepts the fix messages from the client and returns
         execution report.
  
    What i observed is that the Fix client memory usage goes up and
  eventually it will crash.   The Fix server is stable and there is no
  memory leak.
  
  I read a recent post here on "ThreadedSocketConnection: fix for memory  growth under heavy load".    Will the use of the  SocketInitiator class also result
  in some sort of memory leak ?   Should i switch to the ThreadedSocketInitiator
  instead ?
  
  
  thanks,
  
    Quek Tai Wee
