The surprising thing here is not that the 3 lines noted leak, but that FcCharSetCopy doesn't. FcValueSave is called from 4 locations in fcpat.c, and all of them leaked. The only other place FcValueSave seemed to be used was in fccfg.c, but that included fcaliastail.h, which redefines FcValueSave so that the function by that name is not called. > > Regards, > > > David Mathog > <a href="mailto:mathog@caltech.edu">mathog@caltech.edu</a> > Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech > _______________________________________________ > Fontconfig mailing list > <a href="mailto:Fontconfig@lists.freedesktop.org">Fontconfig@lists.freedesktop.org</a> > <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig</a>
