3719 - MLK: From nsComponentManagerImpl::PlatformCreateDll()

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Bruce Mitchener]

nsComponentManagerImpl::PlatformCreateDll() allocates some memory which it
returns to ::SyncComponentsInFile() (and any other callers).  This memory isn't
getting deallocated.

Solaris 2.6, gcc 2.7.2.3, pull and build from March 12, 1999.

This data never gets freed until app dies as the xpcom object lives through the
lifeof app.

What happens when I embed gecko in my application and then want to shut down the
layout engine later?  Not every application is a web browser, and not every
app's lifetime will be identical to that of the layout engine.

dp, should this be re-opened along with some of the other bugs since XPCOM is
supposed to be getting a shutdown system?

This should get deallocated as XPCOM shuts down now.
