[gnome-db] Newbie question: do why I get this memory leak?

[silvioprog <silvioprog gmail com>]

Hello masters, I'm newbie here.

Well, I need to develop a DB application, so libgda will help me a lot in that task. However, doing some two basic tests, I found memory in both:

#include <libgda.h>

int main() {
    GdaConnection *connection;
    g_print("CONNECTING\n");
    connection = gda_connection_open_from_dsn("calvaris", NULL, GDA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS_READ_ONLY, NULL);
    if (!connection) {
        g_print("CONNECTION FAILED\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    g_print("CONNECTED\n");
    g_object_unref(G_OBJECT (connection));
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

result:

CONNECTING

CONNECTION FAILED

Same leak using a valid connection:

#include <libgda.h>

int main() {
    GdaConnection *connection;
    g_print("CONNECTING\n");
    connection = gda_connection_open_from_string("SQLite", "DB_DIR=.;DB_NAME=test.sqlite3", NULL, GDA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS_NONE, NULL);
    if (!connection) {
        g_print("CONNECTION FAILED\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    g_print("CONNECTED\n");
    g_object_unref(G_OBJECT (connection));
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

result:

CONNECTING

CONNECTED

Why?! :-/

My CMake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(testes)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)

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

set(SOURCE_FILES main.c)
add_executable(testes ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(testes pthread glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gda-5.0)

My environment:

OS Xubuntu 16.04 64 bits

gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4)

$ pkg-config glib-2.0 libgda-5.0 --modversion
