Re: [Kamailio-Users] Understanding memory-leaks by inspecting PKG/SHM memory status at shutdown

2010/4/8 Daniel-Constantin Mierla miconda@gmail.com:

it does not look as a dump with memory debugging on.

SOrry, I just applied "MEMDBG=1" in one of the servers and got the output in the other.

When memdbg is on, you should get something like:

0(17665) 1. N address=0xb5ab2440 frag=0xb5ab2428 size=4 used=1 0(17665) alloc'd from timer.c: init_timer(52)

Notice the "alloc'd ...' line which specifies the place where the memory was allocated.

A leak is signaled by many occurrences of allocation from same place (skipping the part of allocation done for config parsing and module initialization which happen only one, at startup).

Thanks a lot, understood now. I will check it periodically.
