Hi I have observed something which looks like a memory leak in an application - pmap shows heap size growing at a considerable rate. I have tried to track down the leak using several tools which identifies memory leaks - and even wrote one myself - none of these found anything: - Libumem - Valgrind (on linux since the application works on linux also - but runs on solaris in production) - Malloc interposer which keeps account of allocated memory and prints out summary file based on stack traces which lead to malloc. The application in question is a multithreaded (50 worker threads) application which quite heavily relies on malloc and does not really try to prevent heap fragmentation. My question is: could severe heap fragmentation leave heap space unusable and thus create something which appears to be a memory leak ? Regards
