[xmlsec] FW: Free/Destroy versus Memory Leak

[Ed Shallow]

Thanks again Amiler,

    Here are the results of this command:

xmlsec verify --crypto mscrypto --repeat nnnn --trusted-der
keys/upu-cacert.der inout/edsigned-enveloped.xml

started at roughly 9M ...

for nnnn = 1000  final Memory Usage  28M
for nnnn = 2000  final Memory Usage  54M
for nnnn = 3000  final Memory Usage  82M
for nnnn = 10000 final Memory Usage 242M and took 184 seconds

closer to 28K - 30K growth per request 

For the OpenSSL test:

xmlsec verify --repeat nnnn --trusted-der keys/upu-cacert.der
inout/edsigned-enveloped.xml

no matter what nnnn was set to, peak MemoryUsage stayed at 3856K with
no growth.

This is consistent with my Python/ctype findings.
Ed
