Hi All I am developing a package depening on the svm implementation in e1071. After running some tests I started to run in to memory problems for moderate size problems.
I attached a simple piece of code and data the reproduces the problem - running this code with valgrind: R --vanilla -d "valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full" < svmtest.R yields: ==76300== LEAK SUMMARY: ==76300== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==76300== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==76300== possibly lost: 12,186,900 bytes in 5,903 blocks ==76300== still reachable: 6,552,269 bytes in 1,653 blocks ==76300== suppressed: 6,414 bytes in 82 blocks ==76300== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown. ==76300== To see them, rerun with: --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ==76300== ==76300== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==76300== ERROR SUMMARY: 1155 errors from 1155 contexts (suppressed: 3 from 3) Is that relatively large amount of data possibly lost a potential memory leak? Thanks Sam
