Hi
i have a Memory Leak problem with a generator i'm writing. The generator has a BaseLink in the Description. And in GetVirtualObjects i'm doing something like this:

GetVirtualObjects(...) 




{




      BaseObject\* linked =  op->GetDataInstance()->GetLink(MYLINK,Obase,hh->GetDoc())




      ModelingCommandData md




      md.doc = hh->GetDoc()




      md.op = linked




      SendModelingCommand(md,CURRENT_STATE_TO_OBJECT);




      BaseObject \* polygonized_linked = md.result1




      // for debugging purpose free it at once




      BaseObject::Free(polygonized_linked)




      




      // for debugging purpose no changed to input objects




      return GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(....)   




}







The problem is that in a scene where "linked" points to a 

SDS-Object a memory leak occured. It were only 24 bytes per 

SendModelingCommand call. The DebugOutput said:




"OperatingSystem, 1136 -> 24Bytes"




I found this very odd. And i have no idea what is going on...




 




Appreciate any Help :-)

First, please try to copy and paste code whenever possible. Shortening it down is fine, but the above contains many typos which have to be fixed before it compiles.
As for the memory leak, my first attempt at reproducing it was unsuccessful. I created a scene with a HyperNURBS object with a cube inside, then an Atom object with the following code appended:

    
    
    BaseObject *AtomObject::GetVirtualObjects(PluginObject *op, HierarchyHelp *hh)  
    {  
      BaseObject* linked =    
        static_cast<BaseObject*>(  
          op->GetDataInstance()->GetLink(  
            ATOMOBJECT_SINGLE,hh->GetDocument(), Obase));  
      ModelingCommandData md;  
      md.doc = hh->GetDocument();  
      md.op = linked;  
      SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, md);  
      BaseObject * polygonized_linked = md.result1;  
      BaseObject::Free(polygonized_linked);

And the following small change to the resource:

    
    
    LINK ATOMOBJECT_SINGLE { }

Then I dragged the HyperNURBS to the link field and let the SendModelingCommand() function be called a few times. But no memory leak was reported.
Could you try your code without the link (just using hh->GetDocument()->GetFirstObject()) to see if the link or the SendModelingCommand() call is the culprit?

Sorry for the extremly shortened code.
I just tried the same thing as you, modifying the Atom object, as you did above. I was able to get the memory leak. The setup was the same as yours: a SDS object with a polygon cube as child. However i had to set the "UV subdivide" option to "edge", for the leak to occur. Then i just enabled/disable the Atomobject a few times, so the GetVirtualObject functions gets called.
I can hardly believe that there is something wrong with the SDS. So could could you try this, too.
Thanks for your help
Michael

Meanwhile the problem was found.
In case you are interested, it IS a problem with the SDS object. Whenever CurrentStateToObject is called, and if "uv subdivision" is set to "edge" or "boundary", some bytes are lost.
I could have seen it much earlier, since it happens with the CurrentStateToObject user command in Cinema, too.
