[iostreams] zlib_compressor memory leaks in 1.34.0(release candidate)

Description

The following description was taken from the following list posting http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/27122

"I noticed that RC_1_34_0 contains an outdated version of /boost/boost/iostreams/filter/zlib.hpp (CVS revision 1.25) which is known to cause memory leaks. On the RC_1_33_0 branch, the problem has apparently been fixed (*) by the author. However, the fix (CVS revision 1.25.2.1) was never merged with the MAIN branch.

(*) see: http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/boost/iostreams/filter/zlib.hpp?view=log

"


Thomas Witt recommended that this item be listed here in the bug tracker so it doesn't get lost, and so this patch can get applied to a future build of boost.

The patch for bug 971 probably subsumes this one.

comment:3 by Kim Barrett <kab@…>, 15 years ago

The referenced file, boost/iostreams/filter/zlib.hpp, has been updated on the RC_1_34_0 branch (CVS revision 1.25.6.1) to match the RC_1_33_0 version, as part of addressing bug #971. This bug can be resolved as fixed.
