We have a large distributed application which uses RPC for communication. We have been working under the incorrect assumption that memory allocation/deallocation was dealt with within the RPC library. I would now like to recover the memory, and have the following questions: 1) Do I just need to use xdr_free on the client side, or does the server also allocate return structures? Is xdr_free the correct routine to invoke in both cases? 2) Does anyone have a filter which will take rpcgen generated files and convert them so that they free structures after being used? Since we have always assumed that this was already happenning, the simplest solution for us would be to alter the stubs so that they automatically free memory. Thanks, Karin Meyer
