Right, this makes sense. Thanks for checking! When can I expect a fix for this?

You have to use - O0 fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations or gcc will remove constructors and destructors


Check my original posting again. I've posted the build lines I'm using. As you can see from the build lines I'm not using any optimization options at all so passing -O0 fno-aggressive-loop ...

I'm having major problems running the C runtime constructors/destructors manually in a program compiled using -nostartfiles and loaded via LoadSeg(). For purposes of illustration I have created two little sample programs that show the issue:

This is loader.c which loads the child program and calls ...

Thanks, I'm now using
and no NP_CloseOutput/NP_CloseInput and the leak is gone. Thanks a lot!

Check out the attached demo code. I think there's a major memory leak in CreateNewProc() when using these lines:


NP_Output, Output(),
NP_Input, Input(),
NP_CloseOutput, 0,
NP_CloseInput, 0,


without those lines, there is no leak. Also when just one thread is involved, there is no leak either, i ...

I'm using AddTrackable() to track an object that should be destroyed when the task is removed. That works fine. When the task is removed, my destructor function is called and I can destroy the object.

But: Once my destructor function has been called and the task has been removed, how should I free ...

When using OET_MemoryAddr with OpenElfTags(): Can I free the memory as soon as OpenElfTags() succeeds or do I have to keep the buffer until I call CloseElfTags()?

Someone from a different forum suggested replacing the battery and that indeed did the trick... now it's working again! Embarassing, but I didn't think of the battery! I still find it strange though that an empty battery causes a loss of the VGA signal. I'd expect U-Boot settings and system clock ...
