Glib::Variant leaks

[Andrew Potter <agpotter gmail com>]

Is anybody actually using the glibmm variant stuff? I'm serializing a complex variant and end up losing ~30 megabytes every time [1]

I'm on Gtkmm 3.4, but I've run this test case in jhbuild:

#include <glibmm/variant.h>

int main() {

{

std::vector<gint64> ints;

ints.push_back(2);

Glib::VariantContainerBase vints = Glib::Variant< std::vector<gint64> >::create(ints);

ints.clear();

}

return 0;

}

Valgrind reports:

==2369== LEAK SUMMARY:

==2369==    definitely lost: 2 bytes in 1 blocks

==2369==    indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

==2369==      possibly lost: 4,032 bytes in 7 blocks

==2369==    still reachable: 5,595 bytes in 14 blocks

Am I not supposed to call ::create() like this?

Thanks.
