<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello </div>I have check any memory leak with valgrind and original pdftotext (poppler-0.24.5) because using it's code in my program that converts a sequence of pdf files in text format, I've seen that takes too much system memory. </div><div>For test I have used a pdf file (it had inside only ONE WORD) with command 'valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --track-origins=yes ./pdftotext -bbox /tmp/file.pdf - 2>/tmp/valgrind.log >> /tmp/valgrind.log' and in return briefly this result: ==11606== LEAK SUMMARY: ==11606== definitely lost: 24 bytes in 1 blocks ==11606== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11606== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11606== still reachable: 22,311 bytes in 740 blocks ==11606== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11606== ==11606== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) -- ==11607== LEAK SUMMARY: ==11607== definitely lost: 34 bytes in 1 blocks ==11607== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11607== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11607== still reachable: 21,247 bytes in 694 blocks ==11607== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11607== ==11607== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) -- ==11609== LEAK SUMMARY: ==11609== definitely lost: 14 bytes in 1 blocks ==11609== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11609== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11609== still reachable: 46,029 bytes in 2,147 blocks ==11609== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11609== ==11609== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) -- </div> <div>I'm not expert programmer but in this case log of valgrind like this: ==11606== 1,600 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 523 of 524 ==11606== at 0x4007D89: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236) ==11606== by 0x80AE501: xmalloc (in /bin/bash) ==11606== by 0x524F4C4E: ??? ==11606== ==11606== 3,163 bytes in 51 blocks are still reachable in loss record 524 of 524 ==11606== at 0x4007D89: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236) ==11606== by 0x80AE501: xmalloc (in /bin/bash) ==11606== by 0x807925A: ???

Unfortunately, the excessive use of memory does not allow to utilize code for the intensive uses. </div><div> </div><div>greetings </div><div>Marco </div><div> </div></div>
