Caution: Memory Leak when using CLI Not what you asked, but...we're using CLI 2.0 because AionDS (by Platinum) links to the odbc driver. We noticed the leak when calling SQLCONNECT with AionDS which uses SQLConnect() ... SQLDisconnect() and these functions malloc without freeing. Informix are arranging for a patch for us. We must first upgrade to CLI 2.5 and then they will provide us with a patch. Trying to work with Platinum was difficult. We had to trace the problem to the CLI library ourselves. They won't even verify that CLI 2.5 will work with their software. Has anyone had this problem and had it patched successfully? Anyone using CLI 2.5 with AionDS?
