RE: [squid-users] Control squid VSZ and RSS from growing

Henrik,

Do you run the test on partial squid code or the whole "squid".
I just simply ran valgrind, by default option and set leak-check=yes,
It returns no memory leak. However, I do not think so it examed all
libraries in use.
Have you define suppressions for Redhat 9.0 and squid2.5Stable4?
In case you do would you please make it available.

Regards,
nooshin

If you see that total in use grows a lot, while total accounted for is
mostly steady then it is quite likely a leak, either in Squid or in a
library.

I use valgrind a lot when testing Squid for memory leaks, on many
different RedHat versions (7.3, 8.0, 9).
