<![CDATA[boost:asio mem leak]]>hallo zusammen,

folgender code ist ein beispiel von alex ott, der code funktioniert soweit ganz gut jedoch gibt es ein memleak problem welches ich nicht nachvollziehen kann. leider reagiert der author nicht auf emails oder dergleichen.

bei jeder neuen connection wird, trotz destructen des connection objects, speicher nicht freigegeben. der leak kann ueber ein einfaches connection spamen per "while true; do bash -c "nc localhost 10001 &"; done" reproduziert werden.

über eventuelle hinweise/lösungen wäre ich sehr dankbar,

grüße,

das ist genau der punkt warum du hier den original code findest und nicht irgendeinen eigenen copy pasted kram. bevor ich es nicht verstehe, kann ich es auch nicht benutzen.

trotzdem danke,

Alleine den Deque<shared_ptr<io_service> > finde ich sehr komisch.
