[omniORB] Memory leak?

[Alfonso Acosta Gomez]

Hi,

Valgrind suggests there's a memory leak in omniORB's initialise_poa()
function. Is this right? I'm running omniORB 4.1.0

The code of MISCcorba::getRootPOA() (MISCcorba.C:496) is simply:

try {
CORBA::Object_ptr obj =
m_orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA");
m_poa = PortableServer::POA::_narrow(obj);
CORBA::release(obj);
}
// catching blocks skipped
return m_poa

Here's Valgrind's output.


44 (40 direct, 4 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in

That code fragment looks correct, but it's returning the POA
reference. What does the caller do with it?

Do you call destroy() on the Root POA? If not, it's definitely going to
leak.
