Re: [eclipse-users] Memory management for Eplex with OSI clpnbncblpcbplp

Dear Daniel,

Thanks for reporting the problem. I have looked at it, and indeed memory 
is being leaked, about 100K per iteration. As this memory is allocated 
and lost in the clpcbc code, you would not see it in the ECLiPSe statistics.

I have tracked the problem down to the way a MIP problem model is 
created (this is done even if you are solving a linear problem). I will 
need to check with the COIN people to see how this can be fixed.

Cheers,

Kish
