Valgrind reports a memory leak in my web crawler:

What is memory being allocated for?
Since your stack trace has no debug symbols it is hard for us to tell exactyl what's going on here.
What do I need to free?
If you use the libcurl API as documented, there should be nothing else to free.
Is this a bug in curl or is something wrong at my end?
I can't tell because there's not enough information. I would prefer a stand-alone source code that can reproduce the problem or if that's too hard, maybe you could at least run a debug-version of libcurl with the symbols present so that we can see a more descriptive stack trace there?
How often do you experience this leak? Do you know any triggers that make it more likely to happen?
I don't think we have any known such memory leak (fixed since 7.68.0). -- / daniel.haxx.se | Commercial curl support up to 24x7 is available! | Private help, bug fixes, support, ports, new features | https://www.wolfssl.com/contact/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
