[omniORB] omniORB.cdrUnmarshal() eats up all my memory

[Grunewald, Frank]

Hi all,

	 
	I have stored CDR coded TypeCodes in a file using the following functions: omniORB.cdrMarshal() for CDR coding and marshal.dump() to store the results in a file.
	 
	If I CDR decode the stored TypeCodes step by step later using:
	:
	:
	notTheEnd=1
	while notTheEnd:
	  the_octets=marshal.load(CDRdataTypeFileObj)  #-- extract one of the TypeCodes from the file
	  typecode=omniORB.cdrUnmarshal(CORBA.TC_TypeCode, the_octets) #--CDR decode the TypeCode
	     :
	     #-- later I will do something with the created instance <typecode>
	 
	I have to notice, that the cdrUnmarshal() function is decreasing rapidly my memory.
	As stated above, the created instance <typecode> is used later in the loop, thereafter the program decodes the next TypeCode and so on. Might be <typecode> my problem? As I see it, the program overwrites "step by step" the <typecode> instance, so it shouldn't be a problem. I tried already: del typecode. No improvement at all...
	Any explanation why the memory is decreasing and/or how to prevent it?
	 
	Thanks in advance,
	Frank
