hello all, futher to my previous mail about a memory leak that i suspect in the pango_font_description_set_family and pango_font_description_set_size functions, i observe that the leak exists in the latest version of pango. i am using fedora core 4 with pango version 1.8.1.
in my program i am continually increasing the size the font and this continually allocates memory. i would like to know the memory allocated for previous font size is not released/reused before allocating new memory for new font size. i also dont understand why new memory is allocated for every time the function ango_font_description_set_size is called. as far as i can see we will be resetting the font size for subsequent size requests. please refer the program below. #include <gtk/gtk.h> int size=15; void g_exit_callback(GtkWidget *w) { g_object_unref(w); gtk_main_quit(); } void play_font(gpointer data) { GdkRectangle updateRect; updateRect.x=0; updateRect.y=0; updateRect.width=240; updateRect.height=320; gtk_widget_draw(GTK_WIDGET(data),&updateRect); } void drawing_callback(GtkWidget *lWidget) { PangoContext *context=NULL; PangoLayout *layout=NULL; PangoFontDescription *fontdesc=NULL; context = gtk_widget_get_pango_context(lWidget); layout = pango_layout_new(context); fontdesc=pango_font_description_new(); // function that i suspect of leaks - one pango_font_description_set_family(fontdesc,"courier"); // function that i suspect of leaks - two pango_font_description_set_size(fontdesc,size*PANGO_SCALE); pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, fontdesc); pango_layout_set_text(layout,"middle", 6); gdk_draw_layout(lWidget->window, lWidget->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] , 5 , 10 , layout); pango_font_description_free (fontdesc); g_object_unref (layout); size++; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { gtk_init(NULL,NULL); GtkWidget *pwWindow; GtkWidget *pWidget; pwWindow = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (pwWindow), "TEST Widget"); gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (pwWindow), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (pwWindow), "destroy",G_CALLBACK (g_exit_callback), NULL); pWidget = gtk_drawing_area_new(); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(pwWindow), pWidget); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (pWidget),"expose_event", G_CALLBACK (drawing_callback), NULL); g_timeout_add(100,(GSourceFunc)play_font,pWidget); gtk_widget_show (pWidget); gtk_widget_show (pwWindow); gtk_main (); return 0; } thanks and regards, nerdy --------------------------------- Yahoo!
