[zeromq-dev] Event zmq-signaler-port-sync leaking

[Pieter Hintjens]

When I run the same code in C, with valgrind, I don't see any memory
leaks. Does the C++ runtime not use the heap?

#include <czmq.h>

int main (void)
{
    zctx_t *ctx = zctx_new ();
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
        void *front = zsocket_new (ctx, ZMQ_PAIR);
        void *back  = zsocket_new (ctx, ZMQ_PAIR);
        zsocket_bind (front, "inproc://test%d", i);
        zsocket_connect (back, "inproc://test%d", i);
    }
    zctx_destroy (&ctx);
    return 0;
}
