[omniORB] Memory leak?

[Alfonso Acosta Gomez]

Hi,

Valgrind suggests there's a memory leak in omniORB's initialise_poa()
function. Is this right? I'm running omniORB 4.1.0

The code of MISCcorba::getRootPOA() (MISCcorba.C:496) is simply:

    try {
      CORBA::Object_ptr obj =
m_orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA");
      m_poa = PortableServer::POA::_narrow(obj);
      CORBA::release(obj);
    }
    // catching blocks skipped
    return m_poa

Here's Valgrind's output.


 44 (40 direct, 4 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in
