FreeRadius 1.1.3 Memory Leak

[Abdul Qadir]

Hi,

    I agree with you that this memory is not freed when the process exit. 

Actually the problem is why this keeps on grwoing. If i start the process and exit it the statistics are different If i send some authentication request, the memory which is not freed by the process at exit keeps on growing. Is there any solution for this.  Please see the difference below. 

This Paragraph show when no request was sent
==811== LEAK SUMMARY:
 ==811==    definitely lost: 108 bytes in 7 blocks.
 ==811==      possibly lost: 340 bytes in 5 blocks.
 ==811==    still reachable: 1,353,886 bytes in 25,961 blocks.
 ==811==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
 ==811== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown.
 ==811== To see them, rerun with: --show-reachable=yes
 

This Paragraph show when few authentication requests were sent.
==842== LEAK SUMMARY:
==842==    definitely lost: 108 bytes in 7 blocks.
==842==      possibly lost: 476 bytes in 7 blocks.
==842==    still reachable: 1,353,950 bytes in 25,963 blocks.
==842==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
==842== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown.
==842== To see them, rerun with: --show-reachable=yes

  i.e. memory is not free'd when the process exits.

  This is not a "memory leak" that will affect anything.  The only
reason to fix these issues is to prevent valgrind from complaining about
them.
