[Spice-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Attempt to detect leaks in spice-server

[Frediano Ziglio]

Hi,
  on the other side I wrote these patches thinking about refactory job.
There are so many changes that having a good way to test for leaks is good.
Not all are GObject and having destructors does not prevent leaks, you still
have to call them in some way, is not like a language having automatic
garbage collector.
