I know that if you do the following you most certainly have a memory leak: id foo = [[NSObject alloc] init]; foo = nil; But, what if you're using self.foo, a property with retain? And your code instead looks like the following: foo = [[NSObject alloc] init]; self.foo = nil; Is that still a memory leak since the accessor releases th...
Hi all, I'm working on tracking down some difficult to find memory leaks in my iPhone program. I'm running a quick test on an app which leaks an NSString object with the following intentionally -incorrect- code: -(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)notification; { NSMutableString *test = [[NSMutableString alloc] i...

I am running my c++ application on an intel Xscale device. The problem is, when I run my application offtarget (Ubuntu) with Valgrind, it does not show any memory leaks. But when I run it on the target system, it starts with 50K free memory, and reduces to 2K overnight. How to catch this kind of leakage, which is not being shown by Valg...

Hello! I have created a Ruby XMPP Framework called babylon. I have then created a few applications with it and even though they run pretty smoothly, it seems that they're eating my computer memory bit by bit. I suspected leaks, so first, I added this at some point in my code : puts `ps -o rss= -p #{Process.pid}`.to_i As suspected, t...
We have a D2007 application whose memory footprint grows steadily when running on Windows Server 2008 (x64, sp1). It behaves normally on Windows Server 2003 (x32 or x64), XP, etc... where it goes up and down as expected. We have tried with the included Memory Manager or the latest FastMM4 4.92 with the same results. Has anyone tried t...

Hi developers, I am currently working on an application which displays several UIViews in a UIScrollView. This UIScroll is inside a UIViewController.

Further to this question I've fixed a bunch of memory leaks in BEncoding.m (originally from here) I've fixed all the obvious memory leaks, but Clang has found four "Leak of returned object" bugs, which I'm not sure how to sort: The full messages/appropriate bits of code are: NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] init]; [...

I'm developing a Cocoa app, and every so often when running my app in Xcode I get the following sorts of messages in the debugging console: <My app name>(952,0xb0103000) malloc: free_garbage: garbage ptr = 0x107b2f0, has non-zero refcount = 1 I turned on MallocStackLogging and NSZombieEnabled and did a malloc_history on a couple of...

We found this problem with a Delphi application and it is clearly because of using the CS API. (see this SO question) Has anyone else seen it with applications developed with other languages (C++, ...)? The s...
