proper init and destruction

[Vassilios Zafiropoulos]

hello list,

i am currently debugging a library that uses libgrypt, ver 11.2.3.

running a sample program through valgrind, i noticed that some memory allocated when using function

gcry_randomize

is never released. the samle program follows:

#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"

#include <gcrypt.h>

int main(){

  char message[16];
  memset(message, 0, sizeof(message));
  int i =0;
  for(;i<100;i++){
    gcry_randomize(message, 16, GCRY_VERY_STRONG_RANDOM);
  }
  return 1;
}


this call uses only once some 1500 bytes that are never released. Is there something I can do about it? am i missing something on proper initialization and destruction of the library internal structures?

also, in some other part of the lib i am debugging, successive calls to 

gcry_check_version

allocate up to 500 bytes that are never released. Do you have any clues on that?


thank you,

vasilis.
