LAPI memory leaks?

[llprogrammer]

Hi All,
I work on Livelink project and can't find the source of memory leaks in it. The project is COM dll that send documents to Livelink server, so there's method StoreDoc():
DocSender::StoreDoc()
{
LL_Initialize( LL_HEADER_VERSION );
...
LL_SessionAllocEx( &session, server, port, "", login, password, NULL);
...
/* Here we do some work and store document into LL server*/

if (session != NULL){
LL_SessionFree( session );
}
LL_Uninitialize();
}

In order to eliminate inessential details I had write this simple program:

LLSTATUS f(){
LL_Initialize( LL_HEADER_VERSION );
LL_SessionAllocEx( &session, server, port, "", login, password, NULL);
if (session != NULL){
LL_SessionFree( session );
}
LL_Uninitialize();
}

void g(){
for(int i=0;i<=1000; i++){
f();
}

int main(){
g();
}

and run it. During execution quantity of memory have risen
from 3Mb to 20Mb!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Alexey.

I have no advice rather than a suggestion.Your LAPI code is in C++ or VB that is the reason why you have to explicitly free the session.I would repeat your simple test and write a few lines of code in java or C# and observe it as well.If you then find that that codebase also is leaking i would write to support at opentext dot com and ask for further advice.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

appnair,
thank you for suggestion, but i have no time to write to support so i dicedided to implement quick-fix:

LLSTATUS f(){
LL_SessionAllocEx( &session, server, port, "", login, password, NULL);
if (session != NULL){
LL_SessionFree( session );
}
}

void g(){
LL_Initialize( LL_HEADER_VERSION );
for(int i=0;i<=1000; i++){
f();
}
LL_Uninitialize();
}

This seems to be OK.
