Howdy, gang. Got a question for the group...Hopefully someone here can help me figure out this little puzzle.
The following is a simple function that makes an Imlib image (a little icon) flash X number of times.
This function leaks memory like crazy.. I've pinned it down to Imlib_paste_image().
Any ideas as to what i'm forgetting to do here? The code is as follows:
// (Note: "buffer" and "bufferData" are analogous to "im" and "id" in your examples, respectively... and "icon[0].image" is analogous to "im".)
void strobeThisIcon(int uniqueID, int strobeCycles)
{
int originalBrightness; buffer=icon[0].image;
Imlib_get_image_modifier(bufferData,buffer,&mod);
originalBrightness=mod.brightness;while(strobeCycles!=0)
{
while(mod.brightness<320)
{
Imlib_set_image_modifier(bufferData,buffer,&mod);
Imlib_paste_image(bufferData,buffer,win,0,0,64,64);
mod.brightness=mod.brightness+25;
}
while(mod.brightness>=originalBrightness)
{
Imlib_set_image_modifier(bufferData,buffer,&mod);
Imlib_paste_image(bufferData,buffer,win,0,0,64,64);
mod.brightness=mod.brightness-25;
}
strobeCycles--;
}XSync(disp,False);
}
PS.. If you want to see the leak in action, grab the latest Pogo:

...and hardwire main() to just hit strobeThisIcon() in an infinite loop.
Build it, and have a look at it in memprof. Leak city.
Cheers, Bowie
