[Denemo-devel] [bug #36969] Yet Another Crash with 0.9.5rc2 Windows

[Richard Shann]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #36969 (project denemo):

We once had a memory leak in the draw routine which is called at every cursor
flash.
But if this is being garbage collected the finger would point outside of
Denemo as we have no garbage collector in Denemo, memory is freed
programmatically. (In fact, the Undo system gradually eats up memory as you
work, which should be fixed, but is irrelevant here I hope).
Scheme does have a garbage collector, I guess it could be that autosaving
could indirectly call some scheme script. Gtk or the evince widget may invoke
a garbage collector.
If you have a way of seeing whether the leak is taking place could you try
turning off autosave, cursor highlighting, not opening printview window (in
fact not doing anything other than starting up the program) to see if we can
narrow down where the memory leak may be happening?
Meanwhile, I'll look to see if I can see such a thing on GNU/Linux.
