Hello

We made an app with xbase and ASINET that is on the CLIENT / SERVER samples
of sockets, the SERVER part should reside on an internet server and should
obviously wait for client connections. This works but with the task manager
of win2000 we see that there is a memory consumption for every client
connection and this memory is never released... so the memory used by the
server app increases until we restart the app. Is there something to check
to avoid this and to have the memory use stable or to release the memory
after a client connection?

We observed also that if we minimize the window of the server app (is
XbpCRT()) a lot of memory is released.

Thanks for the help

If you have purchased a subscription, you might use the memwatch to track down memory leaks.
Beside this, some lines of code would be very helpfull to demonstrate the problem.

By the way, I not convinced yet it is a memory leake you are observing. When a Xbase++ application is started
it is normal that memory usage increases. This is due to the fact that there is a memory menager working in
the background which is requesting resources from the operating system and which is not releasing these
resources as soon as they are no longer needed.

I have professional subscription...but I can't find the  memwatch on the
CD.. where is it?

For a sample you can look at standard socket samples of ASINET ver 1.7

if you run CLIENT and SERVER on same computer (win2000) and open the win
2000 TASK MANAGER

in TASK MANAGER you see that the MEMORY utilized by the CLIENT remains more
or less the same (6376KB on my machine) but the SERVER increases the MEMORY
USED every time the client request a record.. after a while the memory
decreases but is HIGHER than the memory used when the SERVER starts.

If you minimize the SERVER window a lot of memory is freed  but I think this
is a standard behaviour of Windows.

Thanks for the help
Simone
