Re: libpq++ memory problems

OK

So I have downloaded and set up version 6.5.3 on a test system. I then
altered the code on the example so that it no longer uses the PgEnv class.
I set my environment variable and ran the program now as below. I still get
a huge memory leak.

Can I ask you what version you are using?

callproc(){
PgDatabase* loStatsdb;

loStatsdb = new PgDatabase("");
delete loStatsdb;
};

main(){
while(1){
callproc();
};
};
