I’ll update the blog post based on what we discussed later on. Too sleepy now…

OK, so I was a little puzzled by your comment. Check out this output which shows the difference between –valgrind and –valgrind-mysqld. You’ll notice that the first output shows the valgrind output from drizzletest.cc and the second, I have to cat the var/log/master.err…

EDIT:
Thanks Jay. As you mentioned, this output is humungous so I took a copy on my laptop. It’s awesome how we were both confused big time!

Thanks for correction. Kinda weird, I was getting BlitzDB errors in there but maybe I’ll get more if I use that option. Lemmie try it out now.

EDIT:
I just tried the two options and I got the same output… Who knows, maybe someone in the community had made the option consistent :)

Thanks!

Nope, in C++, garbage collection and deallocation of memory is the responsibility of the programmer. This makes C++ slightly more powerful than Java/.NET (or rather, unmanaged .NET), but along with that power comes extra responsibility/risk of a memory leak.

@Toru:

Actually, the flag to ./dtr is –valgrind-mysqld, otherwise the valgrind output in master.err will be the valgrind result of drizzltest.cc and not the server :)

Cheers!

Jay

a perfect world don’t have any memory leak :)
C/C++ world is not requied to think of the garbage collector in Java and .Net world any more?
