in reply to MemLeak in Perl from C Calls

Hi Monks, We are also facing the same problem. The memory is growing like anything. The only difference is, we are using call_pv() to invoke the perl subroutine instead of perl_run(). We thought of posting the same question yesterday itself. However, we couldn't. When will the memory allocated by the perl be released, during perl_destruct() or when the reference count to perl variables (scalar/hash/list) becomes zero?. Any suggestions or comments will be helpful. Regards, Poornachandran SM

    Was there any resolution to this? I have been having the exact same problem.....
      Even after almost a decade, the problem exists as it was!
        Hi, I'm facing the same problem... It's ok since I can manage one call to perl_parse where memory leaks seems to be, with multiple call to perl_call_argv, but I'd like to have a clean memcheck output without using valgrind suppress option. Still no answers (i.e. complete perl memory free on perl_destruct before program exit) ? (I'm on Perl 5.8.8) Thanks...
