Did you actually see increasing memory consumption in LuaSQL due to this, or is it just a problem with the valgrind report? The documentation seems to imply that this function would need to be called only when there are no more outstanding connections in the whole process; coordinating a shutdown of the MySQL client among different Lua states that can be running is doable but definitely non-trivial (meaning it is not a quick fix), so I would like to get a better grasp on the severity of this. > thanks! > > chad -- Fabio Mascarenhas _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
