How to handle leak ?

[moulin-louis]

Hey,
I'm trying to handle leak in my project using MLX42.
I'm destroying all image using mlx_delete_image and I'm calling mlx_terminate at the end of my program on the mlx pointer.
I still have a lot of leak comming from mlx_init(), what should I do and what I am missing ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello! Theres not much I can do but if possible could you:

• If tell me which version of MLX42 ? (Pulled recently from master or used a release)
• Provide me some sample code so I can check it for myself.
• Which OS you are using and which version.

If I have a bit more info I can help you track it down.

Ok so it seems that causes GLFW the leak which in turn is caused by something thats outside of its control 🙃

Lets hope I get something out of it lol

Created an issue:
glfw/glfw#2269

Eitherway whenever you see leaks with CFString in there, its alright and not your fault.
