[Proj] Memory leaks using proj.4 DLL

[michael.hovenbitzer at bkg.bund.de]

Frank,

first of all I would like to point out, that I use the proj.dll
in my own MFC-VisualC-Program. The call of the functions pj_init_plus()
and pj_transform() result in memory leaks:

static const char *pgk2 = "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=6 +k=1.000000
+x_0=2500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel +nadgrids=./BETA2007.gsb +units=m +no defs" ;
quellsys = pj_init_plus(pgk2) ;
static const char *put32 = "+proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +datum=WGS84 +zone=32" ;
zielsys = pj_init_plus(put32) ;
.....
pj_transform (quellsys, zielsys, 1, 0, &r, &h, &z) ;
.....

The following log of the debug mode appear :
....
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{154} normal block at 0x00463BA0, 15 bytes long.
 Data: <./BETA2007.gsb > 2E 2F 42 45 54 41 32 30 30 37 2E 67 73 62 00 
{153} .....

The DLL is working, but in most cases the coordinates
are wrong. 
I would be very happy, if the problem could be solved.

Best regards

Michael

Michael,

I tried the following command with one test point under valgrind
and it did not seem to indicate any memory leaks:

   cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD27 +to +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83

This did load and use the conus grid shift file.  I also tried a
point using the New Zealand NTv2 grid shift file.  Also no report of
problems.

Could you be more specific about how you have determined there is a leak?

Best regards,
