Category: Python Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kevin J Bluck (kbluck) Assigned to: David Abrahams (david_abrahams) Summary: Explicitly delete registered converter chains Initial Comment: While working with boost.python, I've noted that instantiating most specializations of boost::python::extract<> results in MSVC leak reports. My usual tactic for third-party libraries in such cases is to suppress the CRT tracking for the affected code. This is how I deal with the abundant "leaks" from Python due to not calling Py_Finalize(), for example. In this case, though, the allocations are pre-main() and I can't get a suppression hook in ahead of it. I realize that these aren't true leaks, and that there is some reluctance to ferret out such situations at the moment due to the lack of support for Py_Finalize(), but this generates a *lot* of leak reports and makes it very difficult to recognize true leaks. It was actually making me consider not using extract<> at all. I realized that was an overreaction, so instead I added a destructor for struct boost::python::converter::registration that explicitly walks and deletes the singly-linked list nodes contained therein. This resolved my current flurry of extract<>-related leak reports. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=307586&aid=1464421&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
