[perl-win32-gui-hackers] Memory leaks

[Robert May]

Tracker 1417288
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1417288group_id=16572atid=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.
