memory leaks observed in gtk app.

[Anurag Chaudhary <achaudhary in safenet-inc com>]

Hi,

I am working on a gtk application which when used continuously exhibits
memory leak. I have verified this by top output which shows continuous
increase in memory used by it. After analysing the problem with
valgrind, memprof and mpatrol, a couple of observations have been made:

1- program heavily uses gtk_main_iteration. memory debuggers show memory
leak in this function.

2- No references have been made to gtk objects from the program, still
it is opbserved that after destroying a window object it is still
referenced.

I am using gtk+ 2.4.13. Is there any chance of any gtk api function
creating a reference to an object which the caller has the
responsibility to clear? If yes, is there a list available for such
functions because the documentation does not specify any such thing.

Also, are there any know issues with using  gtk_main_iteration?

Thanks
Anurag
