Hello! I'm writing a notification daemon using vala and GTK+. This of course uses DBus (and the org.freedesktop.Notifications domain, following the spec at https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/).
While everything works so far, I have a strange problem: when an application sends a notification with the 'image-data' (or the deprecated 'icon_data') hint (which is a raw image data structure, see https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#images) the notification daemon grows up in RAM usage. For example, when spotify sends a notification, the RAM usage of the daemon grows to 42 MB (from 2 MB). When another notification goes in, the usage doubles... and I get 81 MB of RAM usage. This happens too with other music player such as exaile. No problems instead for "conventional" notifications. A stripped-out version of the notification daemon is here: http://pastebin.com/jPeSB0Nb It's really simple, no GTK+ at all, and the Notify() method is empty. Unfortunately also this version has the same memory leak problem. :( I'm running Debian sid with valac 0.24 (but I've tried also with 0.22 and 0.20 with no luck). Any pointers are appreciated: this has been driving me mad for the last two days! :) Thank you in advance, Eugenio -- Eugenio Paolantonio http://me.medesimo.eu - @eugenio_g7 .:: Is this too good to be true? http://semplice-linux.org ::. _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
