• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-6788
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6788

--- Description ---

===========<br/>
Memory leak observed in the WRT and QWebkit Module.


<p>Precondition:<br/>
=============<br/>
---------</p>

<p>Steps Leading to the problem:<br/>
============================</p>

<p>1.Install a widget with the valid manifest file ( path to for the widget<br/>
<span class="nobr"><a href="http://waplabdc.nokia-boston.com/browser/users/amitha/widget/valid.wgz">http://waplabdc.nokia-boston.com/browser/users/amitha/widget/valid.wgz<sup><img class="rendericon" src="http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/images/icons/linkext7.gif" height="7" width="7" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></sup></a></span> )</p>

<p>2.launch the widget with the valgrind options as follows:<br/>
valgrind --log-file=/tmp/leaks.log --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes<br/>
--show-reachable=yes --num-callers=40 --track-fds=yes ./nokiaPhoneSimulator<br/>
widgets</p>

<p>3.Exit the widget</p>

<p>(after this step you can find the log file in /tmp folder as .log extension)</p>

<p>Expected Outcome:<br/>
=================<br/>
No memory leaks should be found.</p>

<p>Actual Outcome:<br/>

Not a leak, but rather a known issue with Fontconfig.
