[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] boost-users@lists.boost.org spake the secret code <loom.20130404T000840-698@post.gmane.org> thusly:
I have this simple test case:
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(TestLogin) { message_queue inQueue(open_or_create, "InQueue", 100, 100); remove("InQueue"); }
And Boost::test reports a memory leak:
Running 1 test case...
*** No errors detected Detected memory leaks! Dumping objects -> {668} normal block at 0x0039DE78, 57 bytes long. Data: <struct boost::in> 73 74 72 75 63 74 20 62 6F 6F 73 74 3A 3A 69 6E {667} normal block at 0x0039DE40, 8 bytes long. Data: <x 9 > 78 DE 39 00 00 00 00 00 Object dump complete. Press any key to continue . . .
If I comment out the two lines of code there is no memory leak.
Is this something I have to live with? In my real code the message_queue is alive the whole time the program is running.
Have you tried reporting the leak to the owner of the interprocess library? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
