wxruby users - Feb 2004 - image.rb for memory problems

Hi!

Attached is a *very* simple app to test wxwindows'' memory management.

You must edit the image file name...

Hi,

I just tried the sample you sent to the list about a month ago, and I 
can''t see any big memory leaks. Perhaps it is a difference between 
wxWindows under MS Windows and under Linux (which I am using)?

I even wrote a program that just kept calling Bitmap.new to load a large 
PNG image, and not doing anything with the resulting object. It also did 
not leak enough memory for me to detect. Memory use went up during the 
load, but went back down almost immediately.

I am about to work on wxRuby memory handling, and it would be very 
helpful if I had a test case that leaked a lot of memory. I really 
expected the bitmap create loop to leak badly. If you have a leaking 
program, or can think of one, please let me know.

Thanks,

Kevin
