[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-23070) Memory leak when using CLI through AMI

[Matt Jordan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-23070?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=215607#comment-215607 ] 

Matt Jordan commented on ASTERISK-23070:
----------------------------------------

Just to double check, how are you getting the memory output?

If you're simply looking at system memory usage, there's no guarantee that the memory leak isn't in the AMI library you're using to connect to Asterisk. One way to double check that would be to compile Asterisk with MALLOC_DEBUG enabled, and then use the CLI commands it affords to check the memory usage:

{{memory show summary}} - this will show the bytes allocated by the various components
{{memory atexit list}} - show leaked memory on exit

> Calling CLI commands through AMI interface causes memory leak (sending AMI actions does not cause leak), each call CLI command through AMI increase RAM buffer by 8 kb. I am using Astxx lib (by Matthew A. Nicholson http://matt-land.com/astxx/) as AMI caller, memory usage increases when executed
