Which version? The loader itself (plib) shouldn't leak anything. Textures are refcounted like everything else, and freed if there's no user left. But ... > In other words, an OBJECT_STATIC is loaded and unloaded as we would > want when a tile is loaded or unloaded, but the associated textures > are not unloaded. As I posted in thread "model accumulation" on Sat, 25 Feb 2006 23:08:04 we didn't unload static objects *at all*, until recently. So maybe this is what the complaint stems from. Since two weeks we *do* unload OBJECT_STATIC with the bucket branch, but still not OBJECT_SHARED, random objects, and objects managed by FGModelMgr. (And unloading those three types would probably not be such a bright idea.) > there is still a big memory leak as we fly, and he thinks it is that > textures are not being freed. Depends on the fgfs version. We never free some memory until exit -- the whole scene graph, for example. We apparently rely on the OS to do that. No idea if we keep grabbing memory needlessly, without ever freeing it at runtime. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
