Memory leaks
November 22, 2003
I had planned to have a release of GGTL 1.1 out the door by now, but I am plagued by a mysterious (and dreadful) memory leak. The good news is that during the hunt for this I discovered two bugs in my `sl’ linked list library that my testsuite did not catch. One of them were quite easy to fix, but the other one required a bit more thinking. I found the solution to that one in the bath this morning. I often find that taking a warm bath does wonders for solving difficult problems.
On my todo-list after I find that bug is offering finer granularity for iterative deepening search. Currently the minimum search time is 1 second, which simply is a bit too much.
