Hi there, one of typical leaks I found when learning the tool "leaks" on Mac OS X/SRC680_m182 was string MUTX. An example:
Leak: 0x13c05690 size=64 string 'MUTX' Call stack: [thread 2907 ]: ... TransferableDataHelper::CreateFromSystemClipboard(Window*) TransferableDataHelper::TransferableDataHelper[in-charge]() | osl_createMutex I was not able to find the reference to MUTX on my Mac, but I found it here: http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/Current/Libc-391.2.5/pthreads/pthread_internals.h #define _PTHREAD_MUTEX_SIG 0x4D555458 /* 'MUTX' */ My headers contain: pthread_impl.h:#define _PTHREAD_MUTEX_SIG_init 0x32AAABA7 though, but no _PTHREAD_MUTEX_SIG E.g. When we have main Writer window opened, I see six leaked strings: Leak: 0x1271d620 size=64 string 'MUTX' Leak: 0x13c05690 size=64 string 'MUTX' Leak: 0x0321f2c0 size=48 string 'MUTX' Leak: 0x0321f190 size=48 string 'MUTX' Leak: 0x0321f060 size=48 string 'MUTX' Leak: 0x0321ef30 size=48 string 'MUTX' I was not able to create code that does the same. I even created sample C++ code that allocate new pthread_mutex_t and I "forget" to delete them, it leaked them but the string MUTX was not in the leak... Very similar problem was identified by one man when he was working with libxml2 and threads on Mac OS X: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2005-February/msg00090.html Do you have any idea what is going on? Can you reproduce similar problem on other systems? -- Pavel Janík That's the problem: pretesters aren't finding many more bugs nowadays, so it'll probably take until 2005 to find and fix enough bugs that we can comfortably announce the code stable. -- Stefan Monnier in comp.emacs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
