All fiels needed to reproduce this bug

I've found a memory Leak in Giomm 2.4 64-Bit.

The glibmm-version is the version one can install from Synaptics in Linux Mint 14.


Minimum Example:


#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  Gtk::Main main(argc, argv);

  try
  {
    Glib::RefPtr<Gio::File> file = Gio::File::create_for_path("/path/to/existing/file");

    while(1)
    {

      Glib::RefPtr<Gio::FileInputStream> stream = file->read();
      stream->close();
      stream.clear();
    }
  }catch(const Glib::Exception& e)
  {
    std::cout<<"Exception:\n"<<e.what()<<"\n";
    return 23;
  }

  return 0;
}


"/path/to/existing/file" must be a path to an existing file ;)
Just run this sample and watch in your System Monitor/Taskmanager the usage of memory raise.




I have attached all files needed to reproduce this bug:

repro.cpp    the minimum example (exactly the same code as above)
compile.sh   a shellscript compiling the code
