Hi fellow developers,
I have been trying to track down a memory leak in my spop3 client
and have narrowed it down to the following KISS code:
==================================================
// KISS-test
// Initialize OpenSSL
SSL_library_init();
RAND_screen();
SSL_load_error_strings();
// The next lines leak
SSL_CTX * m_ctx = SSL_CTX_new (SSLv2_client_method());
_ASSERT(m_ctx);
SSL_CTX_free (m_ctx);
// Cleanup OpenSSL
ERR_remove_state(0);
EVP_cleanup();
ERR_free_strings();
======================================================
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{1407} normal block at 0x00A768E0, 20 bytes long.
Data: < WM > 00 00 00 00 A8 57 4D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
{1406} normal block at 0x00A76920, 16 bytes long.
Data: < h > E0 68 A7 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
{1405} normal block at 0x00A76960, 20 bytes long.
Data: < i > 01 00 00 00 20 69 A7 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00
Object dump complete.
=======================================================
If I remove the calls to SSL_CTX_new() and SSL_CTX_free() the leak
disappeers. Putting the 2 lines in a loop and calling it, say, 10 times,
doesn't increase the leak. Am I missing something?
BTW: OpenSSL Version 0.9.5.a with MS VC++ 6.0 SP4
tia,
Martin
