[gentoo-user] memory leak with gtk+-2.8.20-r1

[gentoo-user] memory leak with gtk+-2.8.20-r1

[gwe]

Hello,
I use gtk+ for my soft's graphic interface.
But valgrind make an log file containing approximately 22700 lines for an
simple source code like : 
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
	  GtkWidget *win= gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
	  g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(win), "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);  
	  gtk_widget_show_all(win);
	  gtk_main();
	  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
It's difficult to write more simple code...
I've made many searchs on the web but nothing information to resolve this problem.
I've recompiling all with : emerge -e world
downgrading all of X parts and gtk+ & glib. But the result are the same.
Visibly the big part of error are in gtk_init -> gdk_display_open and XOpenDisplay in libX11

Someone has the same problem or an solution to solve this leak of memory?
Thank you very much.

You should at least describe the problem you have. You're just
describing the things you've tried to nail it down, but what are the
symptoms? What makes you think there's a memory leak in your program?

For one, you didn't delete the dynamic memory you allocated when you 
were finished with it.  Before EXIT_SUCCESS, add:

delete win;

OK, but memory usage doesn't add up while the program is running,
right? I think it may be just the missing call to gtk_exit(EXIT_SUCCESS)
instead of return EXITSUCCESS. At least gtk_exit() is supposed to do
final cleanup work.

But I think this is rather OT for this list. If you don't get more
answers here, you may seek help at the GTK project...

Ah yes, I wasn't aware that there was a function for this.  You should 
definitely use this in place of the delete statement because it will do 
deeper cleaning.

the GTK Api said gtk_exit is deprecated and should not be used.  
In fact, i'm very astonished because it's not the first software with GTK
I  wrote but it's the first time that I have this problem.  
It's so recent

OK, I didn't counter-check it and was probably reading some outdated
documentation. I was just searching for some kind of cleanup function
and thought I found it. So it's probably in fact a gtk memory leak. Are
you by chance running non-x86? That might explain why it passed some
tests though buggy on that arch...

OK, I'm out of suggestions :-) Maybe a manual delete would help, but I
somehow doubt that (cleanup is probably done by gtk_main_quit() now?)
