I ran the following code on
WinXP Pro - AMD athlon 1.1Ghz and 1 GB RAM Machine., VStudio 6.0

I dont see TIFFClose(image) release memory back to the system.
As I kept checking the RAM taken by this program it kept on increasing and
never decreased

Is it possible to make sure that the memory is released back to the system ?

According to the manual for TIFFClose() -- memory should be released but I
dont see it.., can someone point out why ?


Thanks in advance !


/**** CODE FOLLOWS *****/

 TIFF *image;

while( listof_files < totalfiles )
    {
            if((image = TIFFOpen(s.c_str(), "r")) == NULL)
            {
                // BAD TIFF IMAGE
               listof_files++;
                 continue;

            }
            else
            {
                // GOOD TIFF IMAGE
                listof_files++;
             }
              TIFFClose(image);

      }
