Bug #1335823 might be related

[Tuukka Pasanen (pasanen-tuukka)]

Yes bug #1335823 probably is related. I spotted at least one Reverb related bad_alloc/free issue. Currently I have pushed memory leaks from 22 MB to 2 MB. Easy ones are done and now I've got to check why Rubberband and Vamp leaks also. Is it our fault or library issue. Rest of the leaks are under 1k so they are trivial but i'll try to crush all that I can.

Curren git is located https://github.com/illuusio/mixxx/tree/leak-fix

Thank you very much!

Would you mind to do a pull request with the current state?
You fixes are looking self containing.

Can we mark this fixed?

[Tuukka Pasanen (pasanen-tuukka)]

More or less.. I think so.. Leaks are there but they don't get on the way so just close it..

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

I would like to keep it open as a kind of meta bug since it is not completely solved.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

IMO that sort of bug is not very useful.

It will occupy a row on our milestone page that is never fixed -- so I'm removing it from 1.12.0.

This is on the same level as "Mixxx shouldn't dereference NULL pointers" or "Mixxx should have high test coverage" -- there isn't a clear metric for the impact or scope of the bug.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

We had no reports lately about leaking memory, so we can close this.
