MySQL related memory leaks

Question

My webcrawler available at https://github.com/JamesRead5737/webcrawler is experiencing a number of MySQL related memory leaks. Valgrind reports a number of MySQL related memory leaks but none of the stack traces point to any lines of my code. Just MySQL code. Here is the most extreme example:

==58360== 16,528 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 410 of 410
==58360==    at 0x483B7F3: malloc (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)

==58360==    by 0x49D0954: my_read_charset_file(MY_CHARSET_LOADER*, char const*, int) (charset.cc:378)

==58360==    by 0x49D2022: my_charset_get_by_name(MY_CHARSET_LOADER*, char const*, unsigned int, int) (charset.cc:652)
==58360==    by 0x49D210E: get_charset_by_csname(char const*, unsigned int, int) (charset.cc:670)
==58360==    by 0x498021B: mysql_set_character_set_with_default_collation (client.cc:3688)
==58360==    by 0x498021B: mysql_init_character_set(MYSQL*) (client.cc:3719)
==58360==    by 0x498041A: csm_parse_handshake(mysql_async_connect*) (client.cc:6287)

Any ideas how to track down and fix this memory leak?

Answer 1

mysql_library_end() was missing.
