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(); };
};
