GOAL:
When using the XML DOM parser on Solaris and HP-UX why isn't memory released when XML objects are deleted?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1x
HP-UX
Sun Solaris SPARC
FIX:
When using the DOM parser to either read or create an XML document memory is allocated to store the document in memory. Once the X-Document is deleted, we do clean up and free the memory.
However, on certain UNIX platforms (at least on Solaris and HP-UX) any memory freed by a process is NOT returned to the operating system until the process terminates. Instead the freed memory remains associated with the process and is left available for any further memory allocations the process happens to request.
