Hello all,

while looking for memory leaks in my own code, I have possibly found memory leaks in the above two classes (actually in some more):

From PndSttHitProducerRealFull.cxx ( https://subversion.gsi.de/trac/fairroot/browser/pandaroot/trunk/stt/PndS ttHitProducerRealFull.cxx) lines 86-87:

  PndSttMapCreator *mapper = new PndSttMapCreator(fSttParameters);
  fTubeArray = mapper->FillTubeArray();

I have not found any

delete mapper;

and I am wondering if this is done intentionally in that way for some reason which I don't know about or whether this is a bug.

Would that also be correct?

  PndSttMapCreator mapper(fSttParameters);
  fTubeArray = mapper.FillTubeArray();

Kind regards,
Martin

Has valgrind reported about such line?

Hi Martin,
I probably forgot the delete, but the mapper is created with the new in the Init() so only once per run. I will fix it tomorrow.
Ciao,
Lia.

On 19 dec: Done, changed *mapper to mapper everywhere (I hope!).

Thank you, I was not sure if it was by intention or not.

No, I know that I have a memory leak in my code, so I was going through my code line by line. I found a line that looked like a bug to me and compared it to how others have implemented similar pieces of code. That is how I found the above line. I don't yet know how to use valgrind, but will look into how to use it.

valgrind --leak-check=full --suppressions=/home/spataro/apr13/tools/root/etc/valgrind-root.supp root.exe -q -l reco_complete.C

where /home/spataro/apr13/ is where you have the source code of your external packages, and reco_complete.C is your macro. Run few events, you don't need many to see all the leaks.

Thank you. After having removed one crash connected to TClonesArrays, I have tested with 10 events writing debugging output and 200 events without debugging info. Both tests passed fine.
