1. ECPG memory leak detected

   Christof Petig <christof.petig@wtal.de> — 1999-12-03T08:58:42Z

   Hi,
   
   I observed a memory leak in one of my applications (grew about 20MB a
   day) and pinned it down to be
   ECPG related.
   
   The path is:
   ecpg_alloc
   quote_postgres
   ECPGexecute
   ECPGdo
   
   PostgreSQL Version 7.0 (about 24th November's CVS)
   This leak was at least present for two months.
   
   Christof
   
   If you have a direct idea on how to fix it, drop me a mail otherwise
   I'll (try to) fix it myself (about next week). It's not fatal, it's
   simply annoying.
   
   PS: Program used for this analysis: memprof (part of gnome) (Version
   0.3.0)

   Attached is a patch that fixes some memory leaks in ecpg.  Maybe it will
   help your situation.

   My problem had been fixed two weeks ago. In private communication with
   Michael.
   He sent me a (short) patch. I tested it. It still works like a charm. It
   has been committed to CVS already.
   
     So you can safely mark this problem as solved.

   PS: I never observed any additional leaks. So it seems I didn't hit this
   part of the code.

   Man, no one tells me anything anymore.  :-)
