Problem 1284

Summary:	Memory leakage caused by G4ErrorStepLengthLimitProcess
Product:	Examples/Extended	Reporter:	Kun Liu <liuk>
Component:	errorpropagation	Assignee:	Pedro.Arce
Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	normal	CC:	bernauer
Priority:	P5
Version:	9.4
Hardware:	All
OS:	All
Attachments:	Should fix memory leaks in ErrorProp

Description Kun Liu 2012-01-27 19:50:58 CET

If the number of events is changed from 3 to a relatively large number, i.e. change the Line 87 of the errprop.cc to "size_t nEvent = 1000000", one can see the memory consumption continue to grow rapidly till the system kills the process.

On the other hand, if one creates his own physics list and don't add the G4ErrorStepLengthLimitProcess, without any other modification the memory leakage disappears.

Please help me solve this problem and thank you very much for looking into this.

I saw the same problem with 9.5 and posted a patch in the user forum.
I'll reattach it here.

Best,
Jan

Thanks to Jan for the code. I changed the repository.
