Re: many exceptions cause memory leak?

[Christopher Broeg <broeg@astro.uni-jena.de>]

Hi everybody,

I finally found the (second) reason for the memory leak:

I was calling HDF5 library (c version) functions. When a string was 
needed I passed it using

name => cs.new_string("whatever")

this created a new c-pointer and i didn't deallocate it. Stupid mistake, 
really. It is the first time I call foreign libraries, so I didn't 
comprehend fully what the new_string does.

Thank you all very much for your help!
