message_queue memory leak in Boost::test
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...

Try the following (quoted from the documentation) "The message queue is explicitly removed calling the static remove function: using boost::interprocess; message_queue::remove("message_queue"); "
"The message queue is explicitly removed calling the static remove function:
using boost::interprocess; message_queue::remove("message_queue"); "
My original code had a call to remove(). I tried changing it to message_queue::remove() but it didn't make a difference. So I tried std::cout<< message_queue::remove("InQueue") and it returns true - meaning that the queue was removed.

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!

Looks like it's a user error where the user is me.
