Memory leak

DynamicPDF CoreSuite for COM/ActiveX (v7) Forum

Dear support. The following fragment of code is adding images to pdf.
Unfortunely it gives the memory leak.
With large files (over 20 Mb for each DPDFLogo.png, DPDFLogo2.png etc) and generating multiple PDFs this leak could be clearly visible from Task Manager memory usage.

        

        VARIANT var1 = AsciiTOVARIANT(_T("DPDFLogo.png"));

        {
                //Add an image with a scale of 100%        
                objPage->AddImage(var1, 0, 200, 100, &objImage);
                objImage->Release();
        }

        VARIANT var2 = AsciiTOVARIANT(_T("DPDFLogo2.png"));

        {
                //Add an image with a scale of 100%        
                objPage->AddImage(var2, 0, 201, 101, &objImage2);
                objImage2->Release();
        }

        VARIANT var3 = AsciiTOVARIANT(_T("DPDFLogo3.png"));

        {
                //Add an image with a scale of 100%        
                objPage->AddImage(var3, 0, 201, 101, &objImage3);
                objImage3->Release();
        }

        VARIANT var4 = AsciiTOVARIANT(_T("DPDFLogo4.png"));

        {
                //Add an image with a scale of 100%        
                objPage->AddImage(var4, 0, 201, 101, &objImage4);
                objImage4->Release();
        }

Hello,

Please make sure you are using the latest build v7.0.4 (Build 27594) available and it can be downloaded from the customer area.

If you still see this issue with the latest build, then please email us support@cete.com a sample project to reproduce this behavior so we can look into it further.

Thanks,
ceTe Software Support Team.

It has the same problem.
Sent the sample project

Hello,

Below is the code that shows how to create and release DynamicPDF objects (including image objects) correctly to avoid memory leaks.

        ::CoInitialize(NULL);

        for(int i = 0; i<25; i++)
        {
                Sleep(3000);

                CComPtr<DynamicPDF::IDocument> objDoc;
                CComPtr<DynamicPDF::IPage> objPage;
                CComPtr<DynamicPDF::IImage> objImage1;
                CComPtr<DynamicPDF::IImage> objImage2;
                CComPtr<DynamicPDF::IImage> objImage3;
                
                VARIANT varImage;

                HRESULT hr=::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Document,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IDocument,(void**)&objDoc);
                if(hr != S_OK)
                        return 0;
                
                objDoc->AddPage(&objPage);
                
                if(objPage== NULL)
                        goto Cleanup;

                WCHAR lpCurDir[512];
                WCHAR lpFilePath[512];
                ::GetCurrentDirectoryW(512,lpCurDir);
                wsprintf(lpFilePath,L"GeneratedOutput_%d.pdf",i);                

                VariantInit(&varImage);
                varImage.vt = VT_BSTR;
                varImage.bstrVal = SysAllocString(TEXT("DPDFlogo.png"));
                objPage->AddImage(varImage, 0, 200, 100, &objImage1);
                VariantClear(&varImage);

                VariantInit(&varImage);
                varImage.vt = VT_BSTR;
                varImage.bstrVal = SysAllocString(TEXT("DPDFlogo2.png"));
                objPage->AddImage(varImage, 0, 200, 100, &objImage2);
                VariantClear(&varImage);

                VariantInit(&varImage);
                varImage.vt = VT_BSTR;
                varImage.bstrVal = SysAllocString(TEXT("DPDFlogo3.png"));
                objPage->AddImage(varImage, 0, 200, 100, &objImage3);
                VariantClear(&varImage);


                BSTR FilePath= SysAllocString(lpFilePath);
                hr = objDoc->DrawToFile(FilePath);
                if(hr != S_OK)
                        goto Cleanup;
                
        Cleanup:
                if(objImage1 != NULL)
                {
                        objImage1.Release();
                        objImage1 = NULL;
                }
                if(objImage2 != NULL)
                {
                        objImage2.Release();
                        objImage2 = NULL;
                }
                if(objImage3 != NULL)
                {
                        objImage3.Release();
                        objImage3 = NULL;
                }                

                if(FilePath!= NULL)
                {
                        SysFreeString(FilePath);
                        FilePath = NULL;
                }
                
                if(objPage != NULL)
                {
                        objPage.Release();
                        objPage = NULL;
                }
                if(objDoc!= NULL)
                {
                        objDoc.Release();
                        objDoc = NULL;
                }
        }
        ::CoUninitialize();
