sPHENIX tracking discussion

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi again,

jenkins keeps on finding memory leaks in our tracking:

https://web.sdcc.bnl.gov/jenkins-sphenix/job/sPHENIX/job/test-default-detector-valgrind-pipeline/1909/valgrindResult/pid=32946/

I had a look at those and the regular handling (creating a hitset and 
deleting it in the Reset() of the container) looks okay. The small 
number of occurrences of the leaks indicates that this doesn't happen 
for every hitset. I suspect there is some cleanup (removal of hitsets) 
which isn't done properly. I haven't looked at the removal methods - if 
they leave allocated memory behind, but my bet is on one of those

Chris
