| Description: |
Tcl_FinalizeThread is not only called by Tcl_Finalize, but also by Tcl_ExitThread. There however, the reference count of tsdPtr->tclLibraryPath is not decremented. This results in a memory leak when creating and destroying threads. Attached is a patch for tclEvent.c that checks for and frees this object in Tcl_FinalizeThread instead of in Tcl_Finalize. -> fix memory leak in Tcl_ExitThread | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=72656 Had to adjust where in Tcl_FinalizeThread this was called (to before the thread exit handlers) to support thread- local storage use for objects in the threaded object allocator proposed by Zoran. andreas_kupries added on 2001-09-25 00:55:50: Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Change accepted and committed to HEAD and the 8.3.3 branch. rbrunner added on 2001-09-24 19:08:25: File Added - 11139: tclEvent-patch-8.4a3 | |||
