Matan,
I have ignored the ioctl warnings produced by the memory debugger "valgrind" as we
discussed earlier... But i have found some malloc'd memory blocks which really should
be free'd for tidyness in vga.c:
static void restore_text(void){
__svgalib_outseq(0x02,0x01);
slowcpy(GM, text_buf1, TEXT_SIZE);
__svgalib_outseq(0x02,0x02);
slowcpy(GM, text_buf2, TEXT_SIZE);
if(__svgalib_savemem)
memcpy(LINEAR_POINTER,vmem_buf,__svgalib_savemem);
/********************* JAW Start *********************/
free(text_buf1); // free the 128Kb memory block!
/********************* JAW End **********************/
};
Also in vga.c i think there should be a "free(font_buf1);" somewhere, as it is
malloc'd in the "initialize()" function but is never free'd (and it amounts to a 64Kb
block! ). Maybe we should implement a new "vga_close()" function which automagically
does a vga_setmode(TEXT) for you, and also free's the "font_buf1" block, or any other
malloc'd memory.... There are still 2 more unfree;d block remaining for me to find,
but they amount o 68 bytes, so i'm not overly concerned! ;)
Thanks,
James A Wright
