Another iPhone - CGBitmapContextCreateImage Leak

Question

Like in this post:

• iPhone - UIImage Leak, ObjectAlloc Building

I\'m having a similar problem. The pointer from the malloc in create_bitmap

Answer 1

This really helped me! Here's how I used it to fix that nasty leak problem:

    CGImage *cgImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
    CFDataRef dataRef = CGDataProviderCopyData(CGImageGetDataProvider(cgImage));
    CGImageRelease(cgImage);
    image->imageRef = dataRef;
    image->image = CFDataGetBytePtr(dataRef);

Notice, I had to store the CFDataRef (for a CFRelease(image->imageRef)) in my ~Image function. Hopefully this also helps others...JR
