[Winpcap-users] memory leak in pcap_findalldevs_ex?

[Gianluca Varenni]

Demetrio,

does the virtual memory usage explode if you call findalldevs_ex/freealldevs in a tight loop (i.e. without the 20s pause)? If you use task manager to look at the memory usage, in the processes tab enable the "VM size" column, it's way more useful in case of memory leaks.

Have a nice day

  My program does nothing in particular: it calls findalldevs_ex every 20 seconds,make a list of devices and then call freealldevs; I have noticed that every 20 seconds the memory allocated by the program increments from 8 to 20 KB.  I use winpcap 4 on windows xp service pack2.  Can you help me?  Regards.
