Memory Allocation issue?

[PatrickCusack]

Team,

I see the folllowing in line 53 of CppPTSLC_DefaultRequest:

// TODO: replace with smart pointer
#define SETUP_CALLDATA() CallData* callData = new CallData();

There is a define for FREE_CALLDATA() on line 58, but is never invoked in the code.

Is this a likely suspect for the memory leak I have encountered when performing the following code in a timed loop?

    while (true) {

        PTSLC_CPP::CommandRequest getTransportCommandRequest;
        getTransportCommandRequest.commandType = PTSLC_CPP::CommandType::GetTransportState;
        std::shared_ptr <PTSLC_CPP::GetTransportStateResponse> gtsr = client->GetTransportState(getTransportCommandRequest);
        
      ....
        
        sleep(1);
    }

I apologize If I a missing something.

Thanks for the acknowledgement. Is there a workaround to the code I posted? Or should I wait for updates?

Hi Patrick,


We don't have a specific patch that would fix this yet, though we are looking into it. I recommend waiting until we release an SDK update with a fix. If this is causing a critical failure in your application please let us know.



Also, a correction: PT-299612 will be the correct ID for this issue, which is a memory leak on the client app side.


Best,
Rob
