Hi, I have compiled the following source code on SuSE linux with g++ compiler version 3.4.3.
#include <iostream> #include <list> void PopulateList(std::list<int> & li, int numitr) { for(int i = 0; i < numitr; i++){ li.push_back(i); } } void testList() { char ch; int numitr; std::list<int> li; std::cout << "Enter any charater to continue : Before Populating std::list<int> : take memory reading: "; std::cin >> ch; std::cout << "How many iteration: "; std::cin >> numitr; PopulateList(li, numitr); std::cout << "Press any charater to continue : After Populating std::list<int> : take memory reading: "; std::cin >> ch; li.clear(); std::cout << "Press any character to continue : After clearing std::list<int> : take memory reading: "; std::cin >> ch; } int main() { while(1) { testList(); std::cout << "==>\n"; std::cout << "==> End of while\n"; std::cout << "==>\n"; } // End of While } OBSERVATION: The multiple iteration of while loop doesn't release the memory occupied by the std::list Is this a bug with std::List or incorrect usage of it? The same behaviour is not observed with std::vector? Does anyone knows the solution for this? Thanks and With Warm Regards, -RV -- _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
