Hi, I am running root v2_00_05 on Linux. I am compiling my code. The following loop causes the image size to grow and grow until the machine is swamped (up to 80 MBytes!). I can't see the leak. Help! Chris PS I did try to delete dir1 and dir2, which caused immediate core dump. I have commented out those statments. I understand that h20 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); causes a histogram object to get created in memory, and I must delete it. But why then should delete dir1; cause a core dump? Thanks. for( card=0 ; card<16 ; card++ ) { printf("Working on crate %d, card %d.\n",crate,card); for( channel=0 ; channel<32 ; channel++ ) { sprintf(dirName1,"Crate %d",crate); sprintf(dirName2,"Card %d",card); sprintf(histName,"Cr %2d. Ca %2d. Ch %2d. Ped corrected, uncut IHL", crate,card,channel); fDAQ20->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ20->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h20 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); // delete dir1; // delete dir2; fDAQ16->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ16->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h16 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); fDAQ12->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ12->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h12 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); fDAQ8->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ8->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h8 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); fDAQ6->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ6->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h6 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); fDAQ4->cd(); dir1 = (TDirectory*)fDAQ4->Get(dirName1); dir1->cd(); dir2 = (TDirectory*)dir1->Get(dirName2); dir2->cd(); h4 = (TH1C*)dir2->Get(histName); // // I ran the code with the following commented out and the image still // grew very large. // // // Now have histograms. Fill array. // hist[0] = h4; // hist[1] = h6; // hist[2] = h8; // hist[3] = h12; // hist[4] = h16; // hist[5] = h20; // clicker = new Clicks(hist,6,crate,card,channel,fout); // clicker->AnalyzeEfficiency(); // clicker->Report(); // //if( channel==0 ) { // // clicker->PlotChannel(); // //theApp.Run(kTRUE); // // } // clicker->~Clicks(); delete h4; delete h6; delete h8; delete h12; delete h16; delete h20; } } ================================================================= = = = Chris Jillings = = Department of Physics phone/voice mail: (613) 545-6000x4805 = = Queen's University fax: (613) 545-6813 = = Kingston, Ontario email: chris@sno.phy.queensu.ca = = Canada, K7L 3N6 web: http://sno.phy.queensu.ca = = = =================================================================
