[libdbi-users] Memory leak when using dbi_initialize in loop

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

Using libdbi on Fedora 14:

libdbi-dbd-sqlite-0.8.3-6.fc14.i686
libdbi-devel-0.8.3-4.fc14.i686
libdbi-0.8.3-4.fc14.i686
libdbi-drivers-0.8.3-6.fc14.i686
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.3-6.fc14.i686

The following code continues to allocate memory, but, doesn't
deallocate it. Can you please let me know what is wrong?

=== CODE ===

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dbi/dbi.h>

int main() {
  dbi_conn conn;

  while (1) {
    dbi_initialize(NULL);

    conn = dbi_conn_new("mysql");

    dbi_conn_set_option(conn, "host", "localhost");
    dbi_conn_set_option(conn, "username", "foo");
    dbi_conn_set_option(conn, "password", "bar");
    dbi_conn_set_option(conn, "dbname", "test");
    dbi_conn_set_option(conn, "encoding", "UTF-8");

    if (dbi_conn_connect(conn) < 0) {
      printf("Could not connect. Please check the option settings\n");
    }
    else {
      /* Do something, and delay */
      dbi_conn_close(conn);
    }

    dbi_shutdown();
  }

  return 0;
}

=== END ===

I am trying to do a task after the database connect, give a delay and
loop around, but the above flow is leaking memory. Appreciate any
inputs in this regard!
