Description Simon Feltman 2013-10-11 05:19:02 UTC 
Running valgrind on test_gi reveals the following leaks:

Test: tests/test_gi.py:TestPropertiesObject.test_variant:
Code: GIMarshallingTests.PropertiesObject(some_variant=GLib.Variant('b', True))
Stack:
81 bytes, 1 blocks
malloc
g_malloc
g_slice_alloc
g_variant_alloc
g_variant_new_from_bytes
g_variant_new_from_trusted
g_variant_new_boolean
ffi_call_unix64
ffi_call
g_callable_info_invoke
g_function_info_invoke
_invoke_callable


Test: tests/test_gi.py:TestPropertiesObject.test_boxed_struct:
Code: GIMarshallingTests.PropertiesObject(some_boxed_struct=struct1)
Stack:
24 bytes, 1 blocks
malloc
g_malloc
g_slice_alloc
gi_marshalling_tests_boxed_struct_copy
gi_marshalling_tests_properties_object_set_property
object_set_property
g_object_new_internal
g_object_newv
pygobject_constructv
pygobject_init
type_call
PyObject_Call


This could mean:
1. We need to clear GParameter.value out using g_value_unset after g_object_newv in gi/_gobject.
2. GIMarshallingTests needs to do it.

I tried a bit more verification with Gtk.Scrollbar(adjustment=Gtk.Adjustment()) but it seemed to be tracking references correctly. This points a bit more towards GIMarshalingTests needing work in property setting code.
