Could some benign old hand at C please list the commonest causes of a program not returning all the allocated memory at exit? I have a program that wastes an amount of memory proportional to its code size(!). All the libraries are closed and allocated memory returned. Thanks. Alan

Try using my memlib functions that were posted here some time ago - August, I think? They catch a lot of common memory errors. ***** *|_o_o|\\ Doug Walker, Software Distiller *|. o.| || | o |// "It is well to remember that evil is a pretty bad thing." ====== usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker

When exiting are you doing exit() or Exit()? I seem to remember exiting via Exit() by mistake and having this occur. ...Doug Teeter TEETER@HUMBER.BITNET teeter@humvax.UUCP
