_nc_freeall _nc_free_and_exit - curses memory-leak checking
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
void _nc_freeall(void);
void _nc_free_and_exit(int);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to simplify analysis of memory leaks in the ncurses library. They are normally not available; they must be con-
figured into the library at build time using the --disable-leaks option. That compiles-in code that frees memory that normally would not
be freed.
Any implementation of curses must not free the memory associated with a screen, since (even after calling endwin), it must be available for
use in the next call to refresh. There are also chunks of memory held for performance reasons. That makes it hard to analyze curses ap-
plications for memory leaks. To work around this, one can build a debugging version of the ncurses library which frees those chunks which
it can, and provides these functions to free all of the memory allocated by the ncurses library.
The _nc_free_and_exit function is the preferred one since some of the memory which is freed may be required for the application to continue
running. Its parameter is the code to pass to the exit routine.
RETURN VALUE
These functions do not return a value.
PORTABILITY
These functions are not part of the XSI interface.

Hi again. I'm using the curses functions simply to output data to
the screen in certain areas. Very simple, just using the full
screen, no windows.
The problem is that I'm calling mvprintw from within several child
processes in the same session, and the output is going
bananas. ie, no... (1 Reply)
Hi!! Experts,
Any ideas how to check for the memory leaks in a process during performance testing?? I dont use purify.. Any way of finding it out using default S/W in HP UX-11
Can U gimme pointers to site having good scripts/tutorials on performance testing??
Thanx in Advance..

When i first restart my computer memory usage is at 24% as the days months and evening pass it gets up to 80% and holds there sometime breaching 98%. Is there an command to regain the memory?

I am running HP-UX B.11.11.
I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.
But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.

Hi Unix lovers,
I am facing a strange problem about memory leak. One component of our product show memory leak at customer's end but not in development environment. The memory used by the exe goes on increasing at customer end but not in dev.
customer has same m/c(HP unix 11i) , the same... (1 Reply)
I am running c++ code on AIX unix.I have a doubt that my code is using some memory but it is not clearing that.Some time i am getting heap allocation problem.In my code i am not using any malloc,new functions also i am justing using pointers and arrays.
Is there any way i can find out if the... (2 Replies)
Hi.
This might be a strange request, but does anyone have any idea on a simple shell script that would use more and more memory as it ran? Like a purposeful leak.
I want to test the behaviour of an already running program when the machine runs out of memory.
Thanks! (4 Replies)
Hi,
This is my 1st post here. I am facing a rather weired problem. I have a C++ binary running on HP-UX. The output of top as well as glance shows periodic increase in memory. But when i use gdb to detect it, i dont get the desired output...gdb says...no leaks found. Just to mention that I have... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am facing one strange situation while using strftime() to get current date and time in C.
it leaks memory with %T
strftime(L_StrDate,30,"%d-%b-%C%y %T", localtime((time_t *)&tv.tv_sec)) ;
and when i use another option then no memory leak like
strftime(L_StrDate,30,"%d-%b-%C%y ... (3 Replies)
I have written this code in C which reads a very large collection of text files and does some processing. The problem with this code is that there are memory leaks which I am not able to figure out as to where the problem is. When I run this code, and see the memory usage using top command, then I...

I had a situation where the server was basically unresponsive and apparently it was out of memory. I ran top and free commands and got the following outputs. I figured it was out of memory because there was no free swap left. But quite frankly I'm perplexed by this output, why does it appear that... (3 Replies)
Hi, all,
I'm writing a BBS telnet client, and am trying to implement a status bar into it, at the bottom of the screen.
I am using NCurses to accomplish this. So far, it appears to be working, that is, upon connecting to BBS, it
will display the status bar, and then quickly disappear.
