Hi Roie,

Yes it is.  Not all of the allocated heap memory can be reclaimed due to fragmentation.  See https://www.design-reuse.com/articles/25090/dynamic-memory-allocation-fragmentation-c.html for more details.

Best regards,

Hi,

I'm running stunnel 5.63 compiled in debian-bullseye inside docker,
and i'm trying to understand the allocated memory behavior

In a test i'm conducting i'm creating a load towards the stunnel server

And the process CPU + memory consumption rises.
Once i stop the traffic the CPU goes down but the memory doesn't.

Is this expected ?

Many Thanks,

Roie
