Re: Wx::Perl seems to be leaking memory

Hi Mark,

How are you getting on? I imagine it was not as straight-forward as you 
hoped.  Here are some random thoughts.

I am still trying to sort out memory leaks.  Almost everything that you 
can imagine seems to be leaking.  I even thought that dbi::  was leaking 
however it turned out just to be caching.  But over a few cycles caching 
is virtually indistinguishable from leaking and my code (especially my 
video) is crashing regularly from non-perl reasons.

1) At the moment, I am just reducing the frequency of wxTimer, to reduce 
the adverse affect of memory leaks.  However, I may try to use 
$SIG{ALRM}processing to imitate wxTimer.

2) wxTimer is not the only event to leak.  I have just discovered that

     Wx::Event::EVT_MEDIA_LOADED( $i_frame, 
$i_frame->{Ctl_Videos_Media}, \&on_media_loaded );

leaks too.

3) Maybe that Wx::Perl::PubSub module method that François was talking 
about may help.

What are your thoughts?

Steve.
