Hi ,  I am testing memory leak of log4cxx using purify  utility and i am getting error like       FNH: Freeing non heap memory (2 times)       This is occurring while in:             realloc        [rtlib.o]             putenv         [libc.so.1]             log4cxx::helpers::TimeZone::TimeZone(const std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >&) [timezone.cpp:46]                *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect                                       USES_CONVERSION;                        ::putenv((char *)T2A(timeZoneEnv.c_str()));             =>         int i;                        tzset();                                       time_t now = time(0);             log4cxx::helpers::ObjectPtrT<log4cxx::helpers::TimeZone>log4cxx::helpers::TimeZone::getTimeZone(const std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >&) [timezone.cpp:105]             void log4cxx::helpers::PatternParser::finalizeConverter(char) [patternparser.cpp:265]             log4cxx::helpers::ObjectPtrT<log4cxx::helpers::PatternConverter>log4cxx::helpers::PatternParser::parse() [patternparser.cpp:176]       Attempting to free block at 0xffbef860 on the stack.       Note: Some 'free's permit freeing such memory, but this is not portable.       To suppress this error, add 'suppress fnh *' to your .purify file.       New memory leaked: 271098 bytes (90%); potentially leaked: 1536 bytes (0.51%) I think error is with USES_CONVERSION, because USES_CONVERSION allocates memory using alloca and program free it automatically, but here purify say's that it free's the memory which is not allocated. How do i over come from this problem. Prakash F. Kadam ISSC, Pune University Walla! Mail - get your free 1G mail today
