Hi Marius, good question! Now, typically, you'd use tools like valgrind to figure that out. I haven't noticed a memory leak in GNU Radio itself, but it's absolutely possible that something like PMTs do not get freed etc, and we didn't notice how this could happen. If you need additional things to look for: * do you have something like a vector that stores e.g. messages that come in? * what's the failure mode of your application? Is it killed by the Out-of-Memory killer, or do you get into a situation where it crashes because of e.g. stack overflow?
