Bug 72558 – [Qt] load(), title(), url(), API functions are leaking memory

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Oleg Romashin (:romaxa)]

QtWebPageProxy::load, QtWebPageProxy::url, QtWebPageProxy::title, and some other API functions leaking strings.

==4060== 98 (36 direct, 62 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2,932 of 3,759

WKRetainPtr<WKURLRef> wkurl(WKURLCreateWithQUrl(url));
WKPageLoadURL(pageRef(), wkurl.get());


WebURL created by WKURLCreateWithQUrl, getting refcount + 1 in '
WKURLRef toCopiedURLAPI
RefPtr<WebURL> webURL = WebURL::create(string);
return toAPI(webURL.release().leakRef());

but it never released after WKRetainPtr<WKURLRef> wkurl destroyed...
Not sure what is right way to fix it... I guess on WKRetainPtr<WKURLRef> wkurl destroy it should destroy adopted toImpl WebURL pointer..

Quick workaround to fix this problem is to add:
PassRefPtr<WebURL/WebString> autoDeletePtr = adoptRef(toImpl(wkrefPtr));
which will destroy WebURL/WebString instance on exit from the function...

Otherwise I need to go deeply into smart-pointers relation ship and figure out how to make it works automatically...


Any ideas?

I believe the issue is this line:

WKRetainPtr<WKURLRef> wkurl(WKURLCreateWithQUrl(url));

that should read:

WKRetainPtr<WKURLRef> wkurl = adoptWK(WKURLCreateWithQUrl(url));

This follow the Create Rule (http://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFMemoryMgmt/Concepts/Ownership.html).

r=me, but before landing the ChangeLog text should be improved ("don't" -> "doesn't", "adopt" -> "adopts", etc).
