Hello masters,

I opened a topic talking about some leaks in libgda: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-db-list/2017-January/msg00007.html . A very basic test to generate leaks:

=== begin ===

#include <libgda.h>

int main() {
    GdaConnection *cnc;
    gda_init();
    cnc = gda_connection_open_from_string("SQLite", "DB_DIR=.;DB_NAME=test", NULL, GDA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS_NONE, NULL);
    g_object_unref(cnc);
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

=================================================================
==12278==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

== end ===

The first test was using latest libgda stable, but found leaks in version from trunk too. (6.0)

My CMake file:

=== begin ===

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(testes)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-g -fsanitize=leak")

add_definitions(-I/usr/local/include/libgda-6.0)
add_definitions(-I/usr/local/include/libgda-6.0/libgda)
add_definitions(-I/usr/include/glib-2.0)
add_definitions(-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include)
add_definitions(-I/usr/include/libxml2)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.c)
add_executable(testes ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(testes gda-6.0 gobject-2.0 gthread-2.0 pthread glib-2.0 xml2)

=== end ===
