[Quickfix-users] Memory Leak

[Monheit, D. <Dav...@ci...>]

Well.  After spending some more time with Purify and valgrind, I am
starting to think that there is not an actual leak, but more of a
"hoarding" of memory !!!

 

There is no question that the program grows and grows (as per the
previous posting)  but now I am not convinced that it is because of a
leak.

 

Oren, what do you reckon is the normal memory foot print of a simple
quickfix app which just return from fromApp without doing anything?  Why
when I just instantiate a message from a string, over and over again,
the footprint is stable.  When I start using the copy constructor the
foot print grows even though the program is not really doing anything?
What is it about repeating groups that could induce this observations?

 

Both valgrind and purify don't detect any significant leak (when
compared to the footprint) when one calls initiator.stop() and then
exit().

 

I am puzzled and frustrated :-)

 

Regards

David
