Re: [ft-devel] memory leak

[Emmanuel BOUAZIZ]

Dear Werner,

thank you for your answer.

I tested the `fttimer' program on my target and there was no memory 
leak. So I looked for any difference on how I proceeded in my program 
and it turned out that the only difference was :

fttimer calls FT_Done_Glyph() twice on each FT_Glyph object : a first 
time in ConvertRaster() just after FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap(), and a second 
time at the end of the while() loop with the comment "/* Now free all 
loaded outlines */"

I did the same in my program and it worked, I don't have memory leaks 
reported anymore, so thank you for the hint :)

Anyway, I don't understand why FT_Done_Glyph() has to be called twice on 
each FT_Glyph object.

regards,
Emmanuel.
