Hi. In case anyone is wondering, this was indeed fixed in 1.4.2 as
Emmanuele Bassi suggested.

Hello, all. I just posted this bug:

I realize that 1.4.0 is pretty old, but I don't really have a choice.
:-(
I'm getting an error when using Clutter to display software-rendered
video. Specifically, the error is:
GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:170: failed to allocate 983040 bytes
The backtrace at that point:

I have a 640x480 ClutterTexture which I've added to the stage, and I
repeatedly
call clutter_texture_set_from_rgb_data() to update it. It works fine,
until it
crashes with the error above. I tried changing my code to remove the
texture
and create a new one each time instead, but it made no difference.
This works
fine on a desktop (Clutter 1.4.0 that I built, on Ubuntu 10.10); it
fails in an
environment using the egl backend.
It's been pointed out that clutter_texture_set_from_rgb_data() seems
to create
a new cogl texture every time it is called, and the texture seems to
not be
released correctly. Without the clutter_texture_set_from_rgb_data()
call, it
doesn't run out of memory, but of course it doesn't update the
texture, either.
The function clutter_texture_set_from_file() has the same result.
Perhaps this has been fixed since 1.4.0 (the blog lists some entries
like "plug
leaks" :-), but I'm stuck with 1.4.0 until I'm allowed to use a newer
version,
so a pointer to the fix would be very helpful as I may be able to
backport it.
Please see testcase attached to the bug.
Thanks,
Chris MacGregor
