Memory Leak with TPNGExportFormat

[MHotz]

TeeChart Pro v2014.10.140220 32Bit VCL
Delphi XE5

Hi!

I am currently scanning my project for Memory Leaks with FastMM4. I have some and among those is one that's related to TPNGExportFormat. My code that produces the leak is:

Code: Select all

procedure SaveChartToStream;
  var
    tmp: TPNGExportFormat;
  begin
    try
      tmp := TPNGExportFormat.Create;
      tmp.PixelFormat := pf32bit;
      tmp.Compression := 4;
      tmp.Panel := MyChart;
      tmp.SaveToStream(MyStream);
    finally
      tmp.Free;
    end;
  end;

The info for this in the FastMM4 report is:

A memory block has been leaked. The size is: 68

This block was allocated by thread 0x18ED8, and the stack trace (return addresses) at the time was:
406C76 [WPRTEDefs.pas][System][@GetMem$qqri][56653]
4089F3 [WPRTEDefs.pas][System][TObject.NewInstance$qqrv][56653]

BB86A2 [RPObjectAttributes.pas][RPObjectAttributes][TObjectListe.CreateInteractiveFormat$qqrp19Vcltee.Chart.TChartxixoxi][2931]

The block is currently used for an object of class: TBitmap

I tried the above mentioned code in a seprate project and no leak occurs. So do you have any idea why the TBitmap that is created in VCLTee.TeeProcs.TCustomTeePanel.TeeCreateBitmap isn't freed?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Hello Markus,

I've made a simple example project using the code you mentioned

testPNGMem.zip

(228.79 KiB) Downloaded 462 times

I've linked this project to TeeChart v2014.10 sources and FastMM4 tells me there's a Memory Leak, but not the same than you.
Find the Project1_MemoryManager_EventLog.txt in the project's Win32\Debug folder.

Am I doing anything different than you?
Could you please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here?
Thanks in advance.
