Implementing NSCoding for NSKeyedArchiver and memory leaks

I have a custom object that I am using NSKeyedArchiver to convert to NSData so my custom object implements the NSCoding protocol. But when I run the Instruments tool, it tells me that my initWithCoder method has a number of leaked NSCFString objects inside initWithCoder. What is the correct way to implement the NSCoding protocol? My c...

C# Memory leak, tracking techinques and tools.

The app I am writing is suffering quite dramatically from a memory leak. Pretty much the entire object model is staying in memory when a user closes down a loaded project. The way I know this is because closing a project in my app barely effects the memory usage in the task manager and then opening a new project almost makes it double ...

Cyclic adding/removing of DOM nodes causes memory leaks in JavaScript?

I'm trying to display dynamically changeable data manipulating with DOM elements (adding/removing them). I found out a very strange behavior of almost all browsers: after I removed a DOM element and then add a new one the browser is not freeing the memory taken by the removed DOM item. See the code below to understand what I mean. After ...

Possible Memory Leak in CFReadStreamRead??

Hi Stackoverflow, I know this might be not correct at all, but I'm currently getting memory leaks in Instruments while using CFReadStreamRead and CFReadStreamOpen. The code looks like this: UInt8* streambuffer = malloc(kReadStreamBufferSize); int readBytes = CFReadStreamRead(httpReadStream,streambuffer,kReadStreamBufferSize); ... free...

Would this be considered a memory leak?

Consider this pointless program: /* main.c */ #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1024; i++) { int pid = fork(); int status; if (pid) { wait(&status); } else { char *ptr = (char *)malloc(1024*sizeof(char...

String trimming causes memory leak?

I'm curious what the proper way to trim a string is to ensure that no memory leak occurs. I guess this may really be a question based on exactly how free() works. I've included the code for my trim() function. See below. int main() { char* testStr1 = strdup("some string"); char* testStr2 = strdup(" some string"); char* ...

NSString leaking even with release at the right place (I guess) ?

Hi there, When I analyze the following code with Instruments, it reports a leak on variable imageName: //loadImagesFromPotatoesIndexesArray -(void) loadImagesFromPotatoesIndexesArray{ //Load Textures from Disk textures = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; //NSArray *masks = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:mainDelegate.masksArray...

App jettisoned by OS 3.2 when memory usage in instruments is low

Heres the problem. I have an app that is essentially an image gallery, it pulls images down from an xml feed, and archives them locally, then gradually loads 5 images at a time into the scroll view to be displayed. I have had thousands of problems with using [UIImage imageNamed:...] and NSURLRequest/NSData as both cause the app to cach...

Can I get an automatic dump of unfree'd memory on Mac OS X process completion when running under gdb?

On Windows, I've long been used to the debug CRT's _CRT_LEAK_CHECK_DF functionality. When the program finishes, and once all the atexit callbacks and (in C++) global destructors have been run, it prints out a list of all the still-allocated malloc and new blocks. This is pretty crude, and the output isn't actually terribly useful, but it...
