RE: Memory leaks

Memory leaksOwen, I did a pretty extensive memory leak test with bounds
checker about 8 months ago.  Since then I have not done one, but am going to
do another run through in the next week or so (maybe even this evening),
will post my results.

  Subject: Memory leaks


  Hi all,
  I'm using 5.3.2, the latest as of Dec 2000, and am having problems with
memory leaks. I have had a qwik search through the archives re: leaks but
didn't find a great amount of detail, hence my post.

  Below are 4 stack traces of where I believe there are a few leaks,
followed by a modification I made to HTProfile_delete() which cleared up a
bunch of other ones I found at the top level. (I made some other minor
changes as well which should become obvious if you tried the additional code
as below, re crashes when start-terminate multiple times)

  I saw reference to one of the leaks below in the list I think, the one
where a timer is being allocated in HTHost_free() during HTTP cleanup.

  Does anyone have any further information on reducing/eliminating memory
leaks for post 5.3.2 source code? Does the latest in CVS fix any of these?

  Thanks,
  Owen Roberts
