I am using TMinuit in a loop for scanning some upper limit maps and I am running into a memory problem. The only thing which is created within the loop is the TMinuit object using "TMinuit * minuit = new TMinuit(n_params);". This is deleted at the end of the loop using "delete minuit". I used valgrind and it says something concerning Minuit (just a snippet here), but honestly, I don't understand that output. My guess was, that freeing memory is reached by "delete minuit". Obviously, that's not all.. Some suggestions? :-)
Valgrind output is here:
