    Exclamation I have memory leak on every Qt3/4 application, Qt bug?

    Hello, I experience problem,:
    When I create project from Kdevelop template(for example KDE "Hello world") and run untouched program with valgrind I get leaks!

    I use Kdevlop 3.5.0.1 (2007-October-24 - Third binary snapshot of the stable KDevelop 3.5.x release series) on Kubuntu 7.10


    code is untouched after generated with new project template

    main.cpp
    Qt Code: 
    1. #include "kdesimpleapp.h"
    2. #include <kapplication.h>
    3. #include <kaboutdata.h>
    4. #include <kcmdlineargs.h>
    5. #include <klocale.h>
    6.  
    7. static const char description[] =
    8.     I18N_NOOP("A KDE KPart Application");
    9.  
    10. static const char version[] = "0.1";
    11.  
    12. static KCmdLineOptions options[] =
    13. {
    14. //    { "+[URL]", I18N_NOOP( "Document to open" ), 0 },
    15.     KCmdLineLastOption
    16. };
    17.  
    18. int main(int argc, char **argv)
    19. {
    20.     KAboutData about("kdesimpleapp", I18N_NOOP("KDEsimpleapp"), version, description,
    21. 		     KAboutData::License_GPL, "(C) 2007 unknown,,,", 0, 0, "unknown@unknown");
    22.     about.addAuthor( "unknown,,,", 0, "unknown@unknown" );
    23.     KCmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, &about);
    24.     KCmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options );
    25.     KApplication app;
    26.     KDEsimpleapp *mainWin = 0;
    27.  
    28.     if (app.isRestored())
    29.     {
    30.         RESTORE(KDEsimpleapp);
    31.     }
    32.     else
    33.     {
    34.         // no session.. just start up normally
    35.         KCmdLineArgs *args = KCmdLineArgs::parsedArgs();
    36.  
    37.         /// @todo do something with the command line args here
    38.  
    39.         mainWin = new KDEsimpleapp();
    40.         app.setMainWidget( mainWin );
    41.         mainWin->show();
    42.  
    43.         args->clear();
    44.     }
    45.  
    46.     // mainWin has WDestructiveClose flag by default, so it will delete itself.
    47.     return app.exec();
    48. }

    Default Re: I have memory leak on every Qt3/4 application, Qt bug?

    None of the leaks are caused by Qt but for example by fontconfig.

    few leaks are related to libqt-mt:
    Qt Code: 
    1. #
    2. ==23225==    by 0x4930E7C: QFontDatabase::findFont(QFont::Script, QFontPrivate const*, QFontDef const&, int) (in /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.7)
    3. #
    4. ==23225==    by 0x48AC988: QFontPrivate::load(QFont::Script) (in /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.7)

    but I noticed other strange thing:
    I checked some KDE apps, and every app I checked have small leaks(form various fonts libraries, X11 libraries, KDE libraries, is it normal to linux or it's KDE/Qt related problem? (i used windows before)

    No, they are not. If you make a function that leaks memory and I call your function, the leak is in your function, not mine. Look that fontconfig is being called from the function you quote. I'm sure Qt has no memory leaks - Qt devs are very cautious about it.

    Dependencies' devs don't tend to be as cautious about memory leaks as Qt devs. Qt has nothing to do with it. How is it in KDE, I don't know.
