MQTT memory leaks while reconnecting Wi-Fi

Postby sohaib.q » Mon Aug 12, 2024 8:48 am

The code below is my network_manager.c is used to deinitialize and initialize the wifi task based on the network_change_counter value. The idea is to switch between wifi interface and observe if there is any memory leakage between a wifi connectivity cycle. I'm having almost 800-900 bytes of memory leakage. The problem seems to be the MQTT component if I do not start the MQTT, there is no memory leakage when we initialize, deinitialize, and again initialize the wifi interface.
