Hola! Thanks for investigating this! However...

It looks a lot better! Does this difference apply to similar usage, with same number of posts per page, same update interval and running for a similar amount of time? Even so, memory usage depends greatly on what's in the posts, of course. But you also say that now the memory usage stays constant, so it sounds very promising =) > With the help of a friend and qtcreator's nice valgrind integration I > created a patch which adds parents to some objects (so that they are > auto-reaped) or manually deletes them. > > No guarantees that all parts of the patch are necessary or correct > but with it dianara is "valgrind clean" and the memory usage stays > constant even after running for several days. > > The patch applies against git HEAD as of now (d520e57); I hope it > serves as a starting point to get the memory leaks fixed. > I find it a little strange that it really fixes things, mainly because, from what I've seen by giving it a quick look, the fixes are mostly specifying the parents of several objects, and manually deleting others. The reason those objects (at least, most of them) don't have a parent set, is because they're re-parented when they're managed by a QLayout. There's of course, the possibility of Qt bugs and that not being handled correctly. The same applies to the manual deletion of some widgets in Comment(); those are supposed to be properly deleted automatically when the parent Comment() object is destroyed. There are also a few objects which will live as long as the program does, so those are not really a concern either way (tray icon, menus, qoauth handler...). I'll investigate, thanks again!
