I have found one leak, which was a typical bug and hard to
detect: thank you Valgrind!
the bug amounts to:
char *cfunc () { return malloc(N); }
string cppfunc () { return cfunc(); }
which of course leaks the C string.
The first case valgrind showed was in strftime_helper which
did exactly the above. The enemy here is the C++ string
constructor that takes a char* argument (and doesn't have
an "explicit" annotation).
I'm sure there are more of these :)
A related bug fixed long ago is the Felix cstr() method of strings
which used to fetch the internal C string of a C++ string. Now it
copies that char array to a varray, which is expensive, but the
result is managed by the GC.
Anyhow, strftime bug leaks a small amount of memory on
EVERY http response.
