[Linphone-developers] Re: Memory leak in ortp?

[Simon Morlat]

Hi,

What version of ortp are you using ?
I'm very surprised. I run valgrind on ortp nearly every day and I never saw 
this supposed memory leak.
Maybe it comes from the way your application uses it ?
Do you have several threads sending packets through the same session ?
