memory leak with sequence in IDL struct if DataReader::take_next_sample() is called from a different thread

[githubposter12]

HelloWorldExample.zip

Is there an already existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

I'm aware of the ticket #4317 but I wasn't sure if my issue is exactly the same,
since it mentions SHM transport.

Expected behavior

no memory leak

Current behavior

memory usage keeps growing

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a message with sequence data type in IDL file, eg:

struct Message
{
    sequence<char>  data;
};

2. use UDPv4 transport
3. send 32k bytes in the sequence field of the message struct
4. call datareader->take_next_sample() from a different thread instead of calling it in DataReaderListener::on_data_available()
5. memory usage continues to grow
6. move take_next_sample() into the DataReaderListener::on_data_available() callback and the memory leak goes away

I've attached a modified version of the HelloWorldExample showing the error.

tested with FastDDS 2.13.2 and 2.9.1 windows 32-bit official installers. both produced the error.

Platform/Architecture

Hi @githubposter12,

Apologies for the delayed response. Could you please check if this issue persists in the more recent versions, such as 2.14 or 3.x?

Thank you!
