Hi, It feels to me like there have been quite a few graphics-related memory leaks recently.
Here are a couple that have been fixed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=937878 (layer retention) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938612 (canvas leak) Here is one that's still open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928692 (RasterImage leak?) And the comment at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915940#c13 is worrying: "... once allocated the memory is only referenced via a SurfaceDescriptor, which is a generated class (from IPDL). These are then passed around from thread to thread and not really kept tracked of - the lifetime management for them and their resources is an ongoing nightmare and is why we were leaking this memory image memory until Friday." Is my perception wrong -- is graphics code especially leak-prone? If not, could we be doing more and/or different things to make such leaks less likely? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=935778 (hook RefCounted/RefPtr into the leak checking) is one idea. Any others? Nick _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
