Re: Memory leak or valgrind too touchy ?

If there is dictionary then they are from root. My test program is empty and only linked with root. I include the following header of roots:

#include <TObject.h>
#include <TObjArray.h>
#include <TSocket.h>
#include <TServerSocket.h>
#include <TMessage.h>
#include <TThread.h>

And link with root-config --libs
gcc -o ../bin/celld celld.cpp $(root-config --libs) -I$(root-config --incdir)

With celld.cpp :
#include <TObject.h>
#include <TObjArray.h>
#include <TSocket.h>
#include <TServerSocket.h>
#include <TMessage.h>
#include <TThread.h>
 

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

        G__scratch_all();
}

Compile with
gcc -o ../bin/celld celld.cpp $(root-config --libs) -I$(root-config --incdir)

Test with and without G__scratch_all(); but still same leak reported by valgrind.

Btw does G__scratch_all(); erase static object related to dictionary ? If it didn't, how do i ask that to root ?

Thx for help.
