After applying the patches previously sent to the list, there are still 3 leaks remaining. Fixing them without breaking binary compatibility is above my C++ skills. The leaks are not big but still a leak is a leak. Here is what Valgrind reports: 4 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 1 of 3 at 0xFFBC584: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:163) by 0xFD7AB2C: __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int) (id3v1tag.cpp:50) by 0xFD7ABEC: _GLOBAL__I__ZN6TagLib5ID3v13Tag10TagPrivate13stringHandlerE (id3v1tag.cpp:240) by 0xFDD0B80: (within /usr/lib/libtag.so.1.4.0) by 0xFD73908: (within /usr/lib/libtag.so.1.4.0) by 0x400DFF4: call_init (in /lib/ld-2.5.so) by 0x400E150: _dl_init (in /lib/ld-2.5.so) by 0x40150F4: _start (in /lib/ld-2.5.so) It is due to this construct. There is no corresponding "delete". const ID3v1::StringHandler *ID3v1::Tag::TagPrivate::stringHandler = new StringHandler; The following 2 leaks are due to the fact that the ID3v2 frame factory is never deleted: 8 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 2 of 3 at 0xFFBC584: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:163) by 0xFD80D5C: TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory::FrameFactory() (id3v2framefactory.cpp:185) by 0xFD80E6C: TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory::instance() (id3v2framefactory.cpp:59) by 0xFD761E4: TagLib::MPEG::File::File(char const*, bool, TagLib::AudioProperties::ReadStyle) (mpegfile.cpp:227) by 0xFF96810: taglib_file_new_type (tag_c.cpp:63) by 0x10004498: scan_get_taglibinfo (scan-taglib.c:53) by 0x10004E10: main (main.c:84) 8 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 3 of 3 at 0xFFBC584: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:163) by 0xFD80E5C: TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory::instance() (id3v2framefactory.cpp:59) by 0xFD761E4: TagLib::MPEG::File::File(char const*, bool, TagLib::AudioProperties::ReadStyle) (mpegfile.cpp:227) by 0xFF96810: taglib_file_new_type (tag_c.cpp:63) by 0x10004498: scan_get_taglibinfo (scan-taglib.c:53) by 0x10004E10: main (main.c:84) _______________________________________________ taglib-devel mailing list taglib-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/taglib-devel
