pro*c multithreaded application has memory leak

Hi there,

I posted this message a week ago, nobody answer me, and the message was deleted.
I am really curious if my application has a bug or the pro*c has a bug. Anyone can compile the sample code and test it easily.

I made multithreaded application which queries dynamic SQL, it works. But the memory leaks when i query the SQL statement. The more memory leaks, the more i query the SQL statement, even same SQL statement.
I check it with top, shell command.

My machine is SUN E450, Solaris 8. Oracle 9.2.0.1 Compiler : gcc (GCC) 3.2.2

I changed source code which is from
$(ORACLE_HOME)/precomp/demo/proc/sample10.pc the sample10 doesn't need to be multithreaded. But i think it has to work correctly if i changed it to multithreaded application. the make file and source code will be placed below.

I have to figure out the problem.
Please help

Thanks in advance,

the make file is below

/*******************************************************************
Sample Program 10: Dynamic SQL Method 4

This program connects you to ORACLE using your username and password, then prompts you for a SQL statement. You can enter any legal SQL statement. Use regular SQL syntax, not embedded SQL. Your statement will be processed. If it is a query, the rows fetched are displayed.
You can enter multi-line statements. The limit is 1023 characters. This sample program only processes up to MAX_ITEMS bind variables and MAX_ITEMS select-list items. MAX_ITEMS is #defined to be 40.

sqlprc() is used to extract precision and scale from the length (select_dp->L).

sqlnul() is used to reset the high-order bit of the datatype and to check whether the column is NOT NULL.

CHAR datatypes have length, but zero precision and scale. The length is defined at CREATE time.

NUMBER datatypes have precision and scale only if defined at CREATE time. If the column
definition was just NUMBER, the precision and scale are zero, and you must allocate the required maximum length.

DATE datatypes return a length of 7 if the default format is used. This should be increased to 9 to store the actual date character string. If you use the TO_CHAR function, the maximum length could be 75, but will probably be less (you can see the effects of this in SQL*Plus).

ROWID datatype always returns a fixed length of 18 if coerced to CHAR.

LONG and
LONG RAW datatypes return a length of 0 (zero), so you need to set a maximum. In this example, it is 240 characters.
