Hi all, I'm encountering some memory leaks when using pthreads under cygwin. As usual the code has been compiled/run on other *nixes (openbsd3.7, netbsd2.0 and mandrake10.1) and the leak does not seem to occur.
The system specs are as follows: 1.) gcc 3.3.3 2.) cygwin dll, snapshots as of: 3/6, 1/6, 28/5, 24/5 (all produce the same result - haven't test earlier version to see where the break comes from.) 3.) WinXP Pro SP2 and WinXP Pro 64 SP1 4.) Dual AMD 64 4k 5.) 4 gig RAM Example code can be found here: url: http://www.partow.net/downloads/producer-consumer-source.zip To make and run do the following make all ./example1 using taskmanager or sysinternals or taskinfo one can see that there is a huge amount of memory being leaked within cygwin1.dll the other examples demonstrate the same effect but much quicker. any ideas on whats going on?
