Synopsis

27748

VC70 Memory Leak Issue in the Scanner Module:

When a VC70 attempts to scan a barcode using a sample application (Ex: DataWedge) with an external scanner module (Ex: DS3508 scanner) and the external scanner module (Ex: DS3508 scanner) is either physically not connected to VC70 unit OR physically connected to the VC70 unit but loses connection due to USB power reset or unavailability of the COM port, the barcode sampling application (Ex: DataWedge) residing on the VC70 unit tries to connect to the external scanner continuously.  In that condition, it has been observed that the memory load grows gradually.  The reason for the increase in the memory load is that one of the threads in the scanner driver does not get closed properly when device is not able to connect with the external scanner. As a result a new system thread gets  created with every fresh attempt to connect with the scanner. This causes a gradual increase in memory load. To fix this issue, the 'UnifiedScanPDD.dll' of the scanner driver has been modified.
