Description Andre Moreira Magalhaes 2009-01-20 09:27:30 UTC 
Some classes (such as Account/Connection) uses OptionalInterfaceFactory to get an optional interface. The first time an optional interface is requested it will be cached by OptionalInterfaceFactory, meaning that the returned object cannot be destroyed by the calling, or the cache will be invalidated.
This way the classes using OptionalInterfaceFactory are not deleting the optional interfaces, causing memory leaks.
Comment 1 Olli Salli 2009-02-02 10:10:11 UTC 
As discussed over IRC, the OptionalInterfaceFactory destroys all cached proxies when it itself is destroyed. Hence there will be no memory leaks - it is exactly the intent that the proxies will stay around so there is no need to construct them all over and over again.
