Hello, I am new to dpdk ... i would like to trace memory usage and detect memory leaks, valgrind as well as address sanitizer (gcc) report some memory loss at application end. For the life of me, i cannot figure it out ... i just write a simple program that has the rte_eal_init + rte_eal_cleanup and i get the following error (also tried helloworld from examples, with same results):

I am not sure what I m doing wrong but it is very frustrating. On top of that, I try other scenarios and see if I can just "ignore" that and still detect other memory leaks but it does not work. I get memory from rte_malloc and don't free it and I still get the above report only, I do not get any report from the memory I leaked intentionally ... no difference what so ever .... I tried the same with the helloworld example and I get the same results ....


Please, if anyone can shed some light and point me in any direction ... I have already searched google for 2 days with nothing new ... surely, I m doing something wrong but I believe I have read everything I can find on google related to tracing memory in dpdk and there is very little information about it and mostly dismiss valgrind and favor the address sanitizer ...

thank you very much!
