Memory leak in Convert Object to Path

[suresh]

Hi,

I have created a tool called 'Memwatch' which prints the memory usage. More info found on below link.
https://github.com/skanzariya/Memwatch

I use this tool to find where memory leak in Inkscape. I found most memory leak while converting Object into Path. I am set the break point at function 'sp_selected_path_to_curves' and step into the code and in backend I start Memwatch, I found most of memory leak in this function.

'sp_selected_path_to_curves' further call another function in which object convert object into path using function curve.cpp, I also found in function 'sp_item_list_to_curves' when the repr append to the parent (parent->appendChild(repr)) it takes memory which no release further. So It will be great if some one can look into the code to fix the leak.

Thanks.

Updates...

Memork keeps increase while converting text into path.

Here is my scenario.
1. Write any text
2. Convert text into path using Object to Path.
3. Repeat the above step again and again with different text and watch the memory usage by Memwatch.

Here is mine.

I did the above steps 7-8 times and huge memory increase.
