GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 41279
Fix gnome_vfs_get_file_info behavior
Last modified: 2008-09-06 19:08:21 UTC
gnome_vfs_get_file_info leaks if called repeatedly on the same GnomeVFSFileInfo structure unless gnome_vfs_file_info_init is called to clear out the structure before the call. This is very subtle and error-prone. gnome_vfs_get_file_info should just free the items it is replacing. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:38:20 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself. Will parse them out at my leisure , but many are GnomeVFS bugs we should look at for 2.0 ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:33 ------- The original reporter (pavel@eazel.com) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org.
MASS CHANGE VFS. Re-assigning bugs that I currently own in VFS to the proper owner (probably Alex).
Still an issue. Is there any reason why gnome_vfs_file_info_clear preserves the old refcount while freeing its contents and memsetting it to 0?
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome. If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs. @Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
