1. Win32Lib Bug (queryFont and wPuts)
Hi,
Found a resource leak bug in win32lib:
queryFont() and wPuts() both call assignFont() which creates an a
font and an HDC. The HDC is released in both procedures but the font
is not, this lead to a huge resource leak in my app (4,000 GDI Objects
shown in Task Manager rather than 300-400).
It's simple to fix, I pretty much just cut and pasted from win32lib
0.56.
In wPuts put the following lines just before the call to releaseDC:
-- replace the font with the default again
replaceObject( id, hdc, DefaultFontID, ForProgram )
And in queryFont() again put the following lines just before the call
to releaseDC:
-- replace the font with the default again
replaceObject( useId, hdc, DefaultFontID, ForProgram )
This seems to fix it entirely and have no bad side effects :)
Derek, would it be possible for a bug fix release to be made anytime
soon with this fix and the setBackColor fix I posted on the 9th? I'd
prefer not to have to distribute modified a version of win32lib as then
things would get a little complicated...
