Just as a heads up, Mathias has sent me a patch containing a number of
memory leak fixes that where tracked down by valgrind. I hope I can
commit it later today.
Hmm, there were additional ones which are now plugged in todays cvs.
I believe that the scenery leak is fixed.
Would you give it a try now with a current cvs checkout?
Thanks
Mathias
well it took me about an hour and a half's flying to produce the error so
I aint going to be doing it again "just to see", but next time I do a long
flight I will take note of what happens and post results , good or bad.
I'm glad my post has brought a big of focus to this rather nasty bug.
Sometimes you just need to look to realise they're there.
I couple of years back I wrote a major project on Delphi 2 , I had a lot
of confidence in the quality of Borland compilers built up over years of
working with tp5,6 and 7 they were bulet-proof and rigourously documented.
Sadly, I was foolish to carry that faith to Delphi's RTL.
I found out once I had it installed on a number of customer's system that
it had some signigicant memory leaks. Not in my code but in the libraries
supplied by Borland!
Any D2 app. instantly loses 2k even if it opens a blank form and closes
straight away.
Luckily windowsland is so full of crap none of the customers even
suspected my software of slowly sucking up thier memory.
Anyway , a little valgrind never hurts. ;)
