I am reading a large number (186) of HDF5 compressed datafiles.
Eventually the allocated memory exceeds 20g and the program fails.
I've traced the increasing memory allocation to the H5Z_filter_deflate()
function in H5Zdeflate.c, specifically the lines:
nalloc *= 2;
if(NULL == (new_outbuf = H5MM_realloc(outbuf, nalloc))) {
(void)inflateEnd(&z_strm);
HGOTO_ERROR(H5E_RESOURCE, H5E_NOSPACE, 0, "memory allocation failed for
deflate uncompression")
It appears as if this memory is never freed causing the memory leak.
Is this the desired behaviour or could there be a bug that prevents this
memory from being freed?
