ROOT Version: 6.32.10
Platform: Ubuntu 22.04.5
Compiler: g++ 11.4.0
I created a small example of a simple class, that is written to a tree. When I check the program with valgrind using
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --errors-for-leak-kinds=all -s --num-callers=30 --suppressions=$ROOTSYS/etc/valgrind-root.supp ./branchTest
I get a lot of messages of definitely lost bytes from creating the branch (line 12), writing the tree (line 19), and creating or closing the file (line 8 and 20).
I’ve attached the example program (branchTest.cxx), the header for the class (MyLeaf.h), and the LinkDef.h file. The program can be compiled using
rootcling -f MyLeafDict.cxx -rml MyLeaf.so -rmf MyLeaf.rootmap MyLeaf.h LinkDef.h
g++ -fPIC -c MyLeafDict.cxx -o MyLeafDict.o -g -O3 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-function -Wshadow $(root-config --cflags)
g++ -fPIC branchTest.cxx -o branchTest -g -O3 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-function -Wshadow $(root-config --cflags --libs) MyLeafDict.o -I.
branchTest.cxx (465 Bytes)
LinkDef.h (190 Bytes)
MyLeaf.h (321 Bytes)
I can’t attach the full output here as it is too big, but these are excerpts of it:
