Freeing memory twice

GDI handles in a DotNET application

My pure DotNET library runs as a plugin inside an unmanaged desktop application.

Memory leak using (void) alloc

I have seen a similar line of code floating about in Apples code: (void)[[URLRequest alloc] initializeRequestWithValues:postBody url:verifySession httpHeader:nil delegate:self]; URLRequest is my own custom class.

Chrome is leaking memory, when jQuery is used on events?

Hi, I'm experiencing an increase of memory usage, when I use the jQuery-eventhandling in Chrome.
