sv::VideoMode memory leak

I am using SFML 1.6 under Arch Linux, and I came across a small problem. When running my code through Valgrind, it says:
"28 bytes in block 1 definitely lost"
or something like that. Here is the offending line:

Code: [Select]


sf::VideoMode best_mode = sf::VideoMode::GetMode(0);

It has the same leak if I use a constructor list:

Code: [Select]


sf::VideoMode best_mode;
void Initialise() : best_mode(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(0))
{
  ...
}

Is this an error in SFML, or am I doing something wrong?

There was a memory leak in this function, maybe it was not fixed in SFML 1.6, I don't really remember.

Anyway, you're not doing anything wrong.

Cool, that's good to hear :wink:
Will this be fixed in SFML 2?

[Laurent]

It's already fixed.

[tntexplosivesltd]

Awesome. What actually caused the leak?

I forgot to call XFree on a resource.
