Memory leaks

[Robert May-2]

Tracker 1417288
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1417288&group_id=16572&atid=116572

This bug report claims that the following code leaks memory:

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;

my ($W,$but);
while (1) {
   $W = new Win32::GUI::Window(
     #-name => "TestWindow",
     -pos => [ 0, 0],
     -size => [210, 200],
     -text => "TestWindow",
   );
   $but=$W->AddButton(
     #-name => "test",
     -text => "Button 1",
     -size => [ 70, 22 ],
     -pos => [ 20, 20 ],
   );
}
__END__

I don't see any leak with Win32::GUI v1.05, perl 5.6.1, 5.8.7, 5.8.8,
Win98 or Win2K.

Can anyone reproduce this leak (I'm particularly interested if this is a
WinXP thing) or can I close the report?

Regards,
Rob.

Left it running for 5 minutes. Checking with process explorer shows no
leaks here (on the perl.exe app, or on the system in general) as far as
I can tell. ActivePerl 5.8.8, XP Pro.

Thanks.  Unless someone tells me otherwise I'm going to close this bug.
(I'm also tempted to make it mandatory to be logged in to sourceforge to
create a new bug tracker entry, as there's no submitter information to
allow me to contact the original reporter).

I've just tried to reproduce it in an old Win32-GUI environment and it was
leaking - upgrading to the latest code (via CVS) fixes the issue (that bug
report might have come from me!)

Cheers,

Jez.

Thanks for the report - seems the tracker can be closed.

Can you let me know what earlier Win32::GUI version you used to see the
leak - I'd like to understand which change fixed this.

Rob.
