Hi all,
I have a moderately threaded userland program (all C) I am working on (using
pthreads, freebsd 8.1 64bit). It seems to leak memory (using standard
malloc/free) badly.
as opposed to what? OpenBSD? Linux? Windows? why do you think your problem is specific to FreeBSD (as evidenced by your post to a FreeBSD-specific list) or is related to threaded
programs?
I am using pcap to capture packets and process them. I have a handful of
libs statically linked in (pcap is one, the rest don't seem to matter - I can
remove them and still see the leak).
Does anyone know of issues regarding malloc/free on multithreaded userland apps?
hell yeah. it goes like this: you malloc() then forget to free() - boom, you
have a memory leak.
you're welcome.
sarcasm aside, those questions still remain: why do you think os/libraries are
the problem and not your code?
you can't post all of it, ok, and we don't want all of it either. can you
isolate a specific example of where valid usage of a library causes a leak?
Sorry, I can't post the code..
Thanks!
Eric
