Re: [fpc-pascal] Widestring memory leaks with FPC 2.4.0?
Hi, I am doing a regular heaptrc.DumpHeap now and I see that WideString memory blocks are still allocated for string values which are no longer in use. Is the memory freed in some lazy way? Or should a value that is no longer assigned to any WideString be freed immediately?

Unless heaptrc shows leaks when the program exits, no memory leaks happen. Jonas___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
Re: [fpc-pascal] Widestring memory leaks with FPC 2.4.0?
Unless heaptrc shows leaks when the program exits, no memory leaks happen. It's a leak. The program loses hundreds of MBs of memory just by working with WideStrings. I compared it against FPC 2.2.4 - no leak. An SVN snapshot of 2.5.1 from around 3 months ago also leaks. Will update from SVN now.

In our previous episode, Tobias Giesen said: Unless heaptrc shows leaks when the program exits, no memory leaks happen. It's a leak. The program loses hundreds of MBs of memory just by working with WideStrings. I compared it against FPC 2.2.4 - no leak. An SVN snapshot of 2.5.1 from around 3 months ago also leaks. Note that on Windows 2.2.4 has the Kylix widestring, while 2.4.0 and later have a COM widestring. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Then you'll have to provide a compilable example that demonstrates the problem so we can fix it.
