I've been trying to get leak testing working on b2g[0] and I've discovered a number of leaks[1][2][3] that are caused by StaticRefPtrs that are never cleared at shutdown. Static*Ptrs are there to avoid static constructors and destructors so they can't clear themselves at shutdown. That means that they behave quite differently than "regular" smart pointers. Am I the only one who is bothered by this?
I can add debug only assertions that they are cleared (that's effectively what leak checking is) but this feels wrong to me. - Kyle [0] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1038943 [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047756 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047757 [3] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047759 _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
