Not sure whether it is an issue or not. about libleak HOT 7 CLOSED

Is the libwuya/ empty?

libwuya is another project and used as git-submodule here.
So you can get it by git clone with --recursive:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/WuBingzheng/libleak.git

or you can download its source from here to libwuya/ directory.

Hi Wubing,
Thanks for your quick reply. libwuya was built successfully with a minor defect that I have fixed on my side.
Compiler of my linux box is really old by using C99 mode. And it can not declare a variable and initialize it in one shot. Have to split it into 2 lines like below:

For example:
File wuy_skiplist.c

Before:
for ( int i = level - 1; i > 0; i--) {
..
}

After:
int i;
for (i = level - 1; i > 0; i--) {
..
}

File: wuy_heap.c
Before:
for ( size_t i = 0; i < heap->count; i++) {
...
}

After:
size_t i;
for ( size_t i = 0; i < heap->count; i++) {
...
}

Other than that, it is pretty good.
Thanks

Wubing,

A question for you.
If an application has a kind of cache memory , that means some memory will stay for ever except application exits.

What kind of expire threshold will be set under this case? Maybe around 5mins?
And some memory was really leaking like memory will be increasing every 20 secs.
Any ideas or suggestions on this scenario?

Thanks in advance.

If the leak happens at cache memory, which means some place allocates memory from the cache but does not put back to the cache forever, it's hard to find the leak by libleak. However if most of the cache memory is allocated by the leak-place, which is very possible, the leak-place will be shown many times in libleak output and you can guess it.

If the leak happens not at cache memory, you can focus on non-cache-memory in libleak output and should find the leak-place easily.

In both case, 20secs or 1min should be OK.

Thanks for your reply. However there was a core dump when have tried to kick off leaklib, looks like 32bits linux box doesn't like leaklib. I can't spend extra time on digging into this core file.
Will use Valgrind then. Anyways thanks for your time.

I did not test on 32bit linux.
I will test it later at free time.
