Strange leaks founded...

[Johanovski]

Hi there!

I was seeking leaks in my app after making some changes and I've found 29 leaks wich doesn't seem to be part of my code, but I've never found them before... The Instruments leaks' panel shows this:

************************************************** *************
Leaked Object: GeneralBlock-16
#: 15
Adress: <multiple>
Size: 240 Bytes
Responsible Library: GraphicsServices
Responsible Frame: PurplePushEvent
--------------------------------------------------------
Leaked Object: GSEvent
#:
Adress: 0x163f50
Size: 128 Bytes
Responsible Library: GraphicsServices
Responsible Frame: CreateWithEventRecord
************************************************** *************

But I'm unable to see the code in this leaks (Instruments doesn't let me access the memory position) and I'm sure this code is not made but made (I think it is OpenGL code, but I've never seen before and I didn't make big changes in my app so OpenGL is running as it used to...).
Anyone knows what can be happening with this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Johanovski, Did you solve the problem?

Hi there!

It's been so long since this so I didn't even remember where the problem was ! I don't know if these are the leaks I'm thinking they are, but I've had some leaks with the accelerometer. Don't ask me why, but if you have the accelerometer enabled it will leak when you touch the screen (completely senseless, I don't know if it's even a real leak), so you have to dismiss accelerometer's delegate when you touch the screen and re-assign again after this:

// In the touchesBegan method, just at the beginning:
self.accelerometer.delegate = nil;

// In the touchesEnded method, just at the end:
self.accelerometer.delegate = self;

As I've said I don't know if these are the leaks caused by the accelerometer... I've also read in other forums that the Instruments tools may cause false positives (related to the UIKit, the CoreGraphics, etc) and that you shouldn't worry about them, but I'm not sure if these are one of them...
Sorry that I couldn't help you in a better way!

Let me know how it is going and I'll try to help you as much as I can!
