No

The smallest code to reproduce this problem is here.

==
// example.i
%module example
%include cpointer.i
%pointer_functions(int, p)

==
<?php
// test.php
require("example.php");
example::delete_p(example::new_p());

The memory allocated by #0 is not released

swig_object_wrapper should be released reguardless of whether wrapped pointer is released or not.
However it is not released when the wrapped pointer is not released.

I attached patch to fix this problem.

thx

    Thanks for the patch, and the test case.

    The leak doesn't seem to show up with valgrind (I'm guessing PHP releases all the emalloc()-ed memory at process exit.

    But if I wrap your example with "while (true) {" ... "}" it runs out of memory really quickly, so there's clearly a leak here.

    Applied to SVN trunk as r11463.
