Memory leak in PyQt application

Hello alltogether,

My System:

Python 2.5.1
Boost.Python
Qt 4.2.2
SIP 4.6
PyQt 4.2
WinXp

I've a memory leak in a PyQt application and no idea how to find it. What
happens in the application ?

From QWindow a QDialog is called on a button "pressed()" signal, that
instantiate a QThread and waits for it. If the thread has finished, the QDialog
closes.

I've stipped down everything that nothing more happens (to me obviously).
Boost.Python is used to wrap a C++ Lib (used in the thread). Every time memory
usage increases for ~70 KB.

Sometimes the application crash on closing QWindow. (QtCore.dll)

- One thing I ask me is weather garbage collection is done in the PyQt main loop?

What hints do you have to find the leak?

Help is very very welcome

Regards
Alexander

Have a look at valgrind: http://valgrind.org/

Ok, now I'm officially confused. I have a large project going, which uses a win32 ui library I am developing myself. And I'm getting weird memory leaks. I don't know if I can explain what is going on, but I really need some help on this one. Ok, so I have this class defined (written by Randy Charles Morin, www.kbcafe.com) which detects memory leaks. It creates a memory check point in the constructor, and another in the destructor, and...

We have found a memory leak when using a COM library with a C# application. The leak appears only if the C# application is compiled with the /optimize flag. It goes away when the C# application is compiled with the /debug flag. The COM library is coded to fire asynchronous events, which are handled by the C# application. It is in the firing and handling of these events that the leak occurs. Why does the optimized application leak while...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
