Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #811: memory pattern question https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/811 <pre class="wiki">Hi, My team developed an application in C++. The application's working set increases steadily. All leaks we could track we corrected. The last remaining leak is a difficult one. The reason I post this message here is to see if someone has an idea of what this data structure could be or a pointer to where I could look. We use template stuff in the code (trees, sets, etc etc). We look at the memory by hexanalyzing a forced core. (this is a linux app). The pattern is inside blocks of malloce'd space and these blocks appear larger and larger with similar content. The patter is as follows: int char [4] void *; void * Exactly 16 bytes, the int is 1 or 2 for the most part but I have seen 0xFFFFFFFF at times. The char at times has character but never no more than 3 followed by \0. The last two seem to be real pointers and at time 0x20 and 0x40 from each other. At first glance it looks like a tree entry but not sure. Any ideas ?

E.g. which version of boost are you using? Which libraries are you using? I know this might not be possible, but are you able to isolate the leak in a small example? </pre> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>david_abrahams</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Feb 2007 13:58:22 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/811#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/811#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> </ul> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=52572 Originator: NO We have been given no reason to believe this is related to Boost in any way. </pre> Ticket
