memory leak in ncsim

whiteriver1

ncsim will consume an increasing ammount of memory when a function has an output port that return an associative array which was not initialized. My simulator version is 12.10-s011.

Below is a code example to reproduce the failure. The code is inside a class (uvm_object):

 

function void a_function(output bit ret_val[int]);

// empty 

endfunction : get_cov


each time the call is done a small ammount of memory is allocated. I n my case I call this function several (millions of) times during simulation and then I can see the memory leaking.
