[gdal-dev] GDALOpen GDALClose memory leak when threading

[Benoît Andrieu]

  Hi list !

I am having some strange memory leak problems and I need help ! ^^

Our software is having memory leaks, I looked into this and I found it 
is related with the loading unloading of GDALDatasets.
By the way, the software is in C# and Managed C++. The code that calls 
GDAL is in Managed C++.

So, basically, the software is creating one thread for each picture that 
has to be processed.
It seems that as long as all the GDALOpen and GDALClose are made in one 
and only thread then there is no memory leak.
But if the GDAL calls are made in different threads (Managed threads), 
then there are memory leaks.

I looked at the documentation but could not find anything really related 
to this. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for any tips !

Benoît
