Re: memory leaks in orbit

[ABHISHEK THAKUR <abhishekthakur usa net>]

Hi Sebastian,

What I repeat 1000 (or 4K) times is -

   name-client --stdin list test < temp

This is just a request to query the objects under the context "test".

As for the command
  
    name-client --stdin bind_new_context test4

   i was creating test1/test2/test3/test4 as 4 contexts under "test". And I DO
expect the sever to grow while these contexts are being created.

   but i don't expect it to grow when these context's are being queried.

   any guesses why its happening?

thanks
Abhishek

  What do you expect? You are doing 

  name-client --stdin bind_new_context test4

  So you are creating new contexts on the server side. That of course has to
  consume memory. For echo-server I can see no leaks, actually.

  Bye,
  Sebastian
