[omniORB] problem with server memory deallocation

[Luke Deller]

Hi R!SC,

Sorry my explanation was not entirely accurate (though the solution was correct).  Here is an amended explanation.
>> test_p1_i * n=new test_p1_i;
TThe above line constructs your servant, whose class is descended from whose class descends from PortableServer::ServantBase which supports reference counting. At this point there is one outstanding reference to the servant.
>> test::p1_var ret=n->_this();
TThe above line will implicitly activate a CORBA object, so now there is a second reference to your servant owned by the POA.  
When you shut down the ORB or explicitly deactivate the object, the POA will release its reference to your servant.  However there is still the original reference outstanding, so the servant will leak as you have observed.

My suggestion is to call n->_remove_ref() immediately after activating the object so that it will be deleted upon deactivation.

Regards,
Luke.
