In commit f3a508eb4e the Euler Robot reported calling timer_new() in instance_init() can leak heap memory. The easier fix is to delay the timer creation at instance realize(). Similarly move timer_del() into a new instance unrealize() method.
This case was found with the following coccinelle script: @ match @ identifier instance_init; typedef Object; identifier obj; expression val, scale; identifier clock_type, callback, opaque; position pos; @@ static void instance_init(Object *obj) { <...
