About memory leak of Servant Program

ehero

I implement the servant of interface A with AImp.
But I want to call the local AImp and remote AImp with APrx.
When I use AImp class directly,
such as A* a = new AImp();
Because interface A has no virtual destroy function, memory leak happens.

What's more, when I use AImpPtr, memory leak happens too.

Why?

A small code sample would be useful to find this leak!

How did you find out that you have memory leak? Just a cerr in AImp's destructor?

With reference counted objects such as the generated C++ class for the Slice A interface/class, I recommend you always use Ptr and never plain pointers, e.g.:

APtr a = new AImp();

Also, if you add this servant to your adapter's servant map, the servant map will keep a reference-count until you remove this servant from the map, or you deactivate the adapter (this happens automatically when you shutdown or destroy the communicator). So don't forget to shutdown/destroy your communicator.

I hope this will put you on the right track!
