I often use the memory usage information in log_view as a way to check on
memory leaks and so far it has worked perfect. However, I had long noticed
a false-positive report in memory leak for Viewers, i.e. destruction count
is always one less than creation.
Today, I noticed what seems to be a second one. If you use VecView to write
the same DA to vtk, i.e. call VecView(A, vtk); twice, it also report a
memory leak for vectors, vecscatters, dm, etc. I am calling this a
false-positive since the code is valgrind-clean.
Is this known/expected?
Here's the relevant bit from log_view:
--- Event Stage 0: Main Stage
Vector 8 7 250992 0.
Vector Scatter 2 0 0 0.
Distributed Mesh 2 0 0 0.
Star Forest Bipartite Graph 4 0 0 0.
Discrete System 2 0 0 0.
Index Set 4 4 83136 0.
IS L to G Mapping 2 0 0 0.
Viewer 2 1 784 0.
