 Hello all!
 I've got a program that recording video from IP-cameras. Because to
 cameras quantity is quite many I using pthreads. Also video from cameras
 splitting to fragments with some length (for ex., 300 seconds).

 But I have got a big problem: memory definitely leaks after each time
 cycle.

 For debug purposes I create simplified prototype project. Full code for it
 can be found this GIT repository: https://github.com/xaruch/ffmpeg_tests


 Memory increasing diagram:
 [[Image(http://www.datafilehost.com/d/b2cba5ea)]]
 Vertical axis is VmRss for test program pid with 1 seconds step.
 Horizontal axis is time.

 The main cycle:
 {{{
         if (PWriter->TimerCounter >= REC_TIMEOUT)
         {
                 uint64_t mem = PWriter->GetMemoryConsumption();
                 sprintf(str, "DEBUG: Timeout callback. Memory: %lld.
 Delta: %lld\n", mem, mem - Memory);
                 AppendLog(str, "MAIN");
                 Memory = mem;
                 PWriter->TimerCounter = 0;
                 PWriter->Continue();
         }
 }}}



 Start recording called from this function:
 {{{
 int FfPipeline::ThInitiateRecording()
 {
   const char *class_name = "FfPipeline::ThInitiateRecording";
   pthread_t ptid;

   sprintf(str, "DEBUG: Pipeline slot '%d'. Try to starting thread with
 stopping...\n", Slot);
   AppendLog(str, class_name);

   pthread_create(&ptid, NULL, &ThRecording, (void *) this);

   pthread_detach(ptid);

   sprintf(str, "DEBUG: Pipeline slot '%d'. Starting thread ended!\n",
 Slot);
   AppendLog(str, class_name);

   return 0;
 }
 }}}
