leak memory when thread exit

In our concurrent tcp server program, once the connection comes, the program create a thread to process acception. When the client exit, the server closed socket and the thread exited, the problem is the memory can not release normally. The code looks like the followings:
Code:
main()
{       
    .......
 
    while(1==1)
                {
                        channel=srv_accept(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *)&tcp_cli_addr,&length);
                        if(channel<0)
                        {
                                //cout<<"channel ="<<channel<<" retry srv_accept ...."<<endl;
                                continue;
                        }
                        num=-1; 
                       // find the nonused pthread number.
                        for(int i=0;i<MAX_REPORT_NUM;i++)
                                {       
                                        if(pth_struct[i].flag<0)
                                        {       
                                                num=i;
                                                break;
                                        }
                                }
                        printf("num is %d \n",num);
                        for(int i=0;i<MAX_REPORT_NUM;i++)
                                {       
                                        printf("....pos=%d flag=%d ......\n",i,pth_struct[i].flag);
                                }
                        if(num<0)
                        {       
                                Tcp_close(channel);
                                continue;
                        }
                        pthch[num].channel=channel;
                        pthch[num].pos=num;
                        pth_struct[num].flag=1;
                         
                       pthread_create(&pth_struct[num].pthread_no,&attr,(pthread_startroutine_t)channel_handler,

(pthread_addr_t *)&pthch[num]);
        }

}

int  channel_handler(struct  pthname_channel *recv_s=NULL)// handling the tcp message.
{
      .......
       while(1==1)
        {
                ret=Tcp_read(recv_s->channel,(char *)&ptr,sizeof(struct  MESS_BLOCK));
                if(ret<=0)
                {       
                        printf("@@@@@@@@@@@@ ------ Tcp_read err : ---------- @@@@@@@@@@@@@  \n");
                        fflush(stdout);
                        Tcp_close(recv_s->channel);
                        pth_struct[recv_s->pos].flag=-1;
                        
                        tid = pthread_self();
                        pthread_detach((pthread_t *)&tid);
                        pthread_exit(0);
                        break;
                }
            // processing packets .
}

We wants the program can free the thread resource normally once the connection closed and thread exit, otherwise the memory block become bigger with the thread creating, any suggestion?

I don't see any memory allocation/deallocation here. And since you're not using C++ specific constructs (except comments), try compiling with just C.

Need to create a memory leak

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)
