[Devel] bug in 2.1.7

[Neil Peterson]

Hi,

 

I just downloaded the 2.1.7 version from your site, and in base\ftobjs.c there is a bug that was introduced in ft_input_stream_new (the last version we used was 2.04).  If the user passes in his own stream and memory allocation functions (FT_OPEN_STREAM set), then the following line near the end of the function is incorrect:

 

stream->memory = memory;  /* just to be certain */

 

This line overwrites the client's memory object, which prevents the client from getting alloc & free callbacks, and causes a leak because the client's memory pointer is lost here.

 

Best regards,
