that's opinable. personally, no: I don't think it's at all necessary. and I've been doing memory profiling of glib- and non-glib based libraries and applications for a while. you are, of course, free to start asking people to use atexit() handlers to free up one-off allocations, starting from the bottom of the stack (font-config, freetype, X11, glibc, Mesa, etc.) and moving up towards gtk+. > Just for the reason that using memory debugging tools is confusing > if it is not doing it. you can use suppression files to mask the known one-off allocations. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
