[Rosegarden-devel] that memory leak when recording audio..

[Richard B. <bo...@bo...>]

I was following up on Silvan's memory leak thingy (730011) after I 
managed to replicate it.  The leak was at the gui and not at the 
sequencer so I was looking at the wrong process - duh.

Anyway, the leak was being caused by repeated calls to 
segment->fillWithRests on the recording segment in 
RosegardenGUIDoc::insertRecordAudio.  This function is called directly 
from the sequencer pretty often and the fillWithRests call must've been 
filling a mighty amount of rests in.

Actually looking at base/Segment you can see that a load of new rests 
will be bunged into any segment that it's called on with no checking to 
see if those rests already exist.  Hence the leak.  Anyway we don't 
need to fill this segment with rests at all so I've just commented out 
the call and things seem more stable.
