Proposed patch to fix the leak (1.29 KB, patch)
2016-04-06 07:59 UTC, Fred
Details | Splinter Review

Description googy303 2013-07-22 12:43:40 UTC
cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_create (HDC hdc)
{ ...
device = _cairo_win32_device_get ();
--> call device malloc
...
}

static void
_cairo_win32_device_destroy (void *device)
{
    free (device);
}
in cairo-win32-device.c will never called, due to ref counter.


Output window in VC2010:

Dumping objects ->
win32/cairo-win32-device.c(154) : {197} normal block at 0x00857F40, 72 bytes long.
 Data: <                > 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
Object dump complete.
Detected memory leaks!

72 bytes is the size of device structure.

With best regards
Comment 1 Chris Wilson 2013-07-22 12:51:01 UTC
Yes. The cairo_win32_device is a singleton that is meant to be cleaned up by cairo_debug_reset_static_data -- only it is not coupled into that yet.
Comment 2 googy303 2013-07-22 13:18:44 UTC
Hello Chris,

can you give me a hint where to release it, so I have a preliminary fix? When will the fix be available in the git repo?

Thanks.

Proposed patch to fix the leak

Here is a simple patch to fix the issue by adding the appropriate call in the debug reset static data function.

Hi,

I tried the solution your proposed but I'm still getting leak on :

_cairo_win32_device_get
---> device = malloc (sizeof (*device));

Dumping objects ->
{537} normal block at 0x01141E10, 1032 bytes long.

Object dump complete.

I use Intel Parallel Inspector too and the same leak is related. Here is the log

Comment 5 Martin B 2016-05-06 01:16:31 UTC
Hold one, the patch is working but I have to call implicitly the function :

		case WM_CLOSE:
		{
			cairo_debug_reset_static_data();
		}
		break;

Now the leak is gone. 

But do I need to call this in release mode too ?
Comment 6 Uli Schlachter 2016-05-08 11:50:13 UTC
All that the patch does is to do more cleanup in cairo_debug_reset_static_data(). So yes, if you want the patch to make a difference, then you have to call this function.

However, this "leak" is really harmless. It's a "one time"-thing and nothing that keeps growing. The only reason why people are interesting in this is to keep their leak detection tool quiet.
Comment 7 Fred 2017-04-13 09:18:51 UTC
It is actually NOT a one-time thing if you call dynamically loaded libraries that are statically linked with cairo. 

Getting rid of leaks (even static) is usually not a bad thing anyway: such static leaks could actually impact external resources (files, system objects) that have to be properly released/cleaned up. (It is fortunately not the case here)
