I encountered a memory leak in my python code that imports OpenGL.
Either python or its OpenGL import is not freeing memory. I use Debian
3.1r0 and the most current python and python-opengl packages from there
(python version 2.3.5). Here's an example python program that has the
memory leak.
------------------------------------------------------------------
# Stand-alone test of glReadPixels. There is an obvious memory leak.
from OpenGL.GL import *
from OpenGL.GLUT import *
import sys
def KeyMotion(key, x, y):
if key != 'q':
viewport = glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT)
a = glReadPixelsf(viewport[0], viewport[1],
viewport[2], viewport[3], GL_RGB)
glutPostRedisplay()
else:
sys.exit(0)
def DrawStuff():
pass
glutInit(sys.argv)
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB)
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0)
glutInitWindowSize(400, 400)
glutCreateWindow('Test')
glutDisplayFunc(DrawStuff)
glutKeyboardFunc(KeyMotion)
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
glutMainLoop()
------------------------------------------------------------------
The glReadPixels line grabs memory every time it is called, and it is
never released. I'm not sure where to post this bug, because I cannot
tell which package causes the bug. (If I had to guess, I think OpenGL is
the culprit.) Can anyone help direct me to the proper place to post this
bug?
Thanks,
Charles
