>Description:
If glib is compiled with --enable-mem-check g_free doesn't free
memory.
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/glib/glib-memory-allocation.html
suggests it is supposed to. This is either a doc bug or a software bug
>How-To-Repeat:
<code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)>
>Fix:
Either state that --enable-mem-check doesn't free memory in the documentation
or change this on line 410 of gmem.c:
#else /* ENABLE_MEM_CHECK */
free (mem);
#endif /* ENABLE_MEM_CHECK */
To something like this:
#endif /* ENABLE_MEM_CHECK */
free (mem);
I suspect the free is not desired since some sort of status stuff
seems to be stored in the space of the freed memory. But then, I guess
at least a realloc() down to the right size for this status stuff
would be less piggish.
