Hi guys,

I noticed that our applications seem to use more and more memory the longer
they run.
Profiling it, it looks like most of it is coming from closures that use
GObj and GtkSignal.

It looks like most parts of lablgtk don't properly use the CAMLparam,
CAMLreturn, etc macros that are described here:
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/intfc.html#sec440
Fixing a similar issue in some of our code interfacing with C made a HUGE
difference.

E.g. the ml_g_signal_override_class_closure function in ml_gobject.c does
not use these macros...
Any particular reason for that? Am I missing something here, or is that a
bug (or rather lots of bugs)?

Cheers, Felix
