[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55287] Memory leak in graphics subsystem

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #32, bug #55287 (project octave):

I don't think this is a memory leak. This is most probably due to objects that
we simply don't delete during the clf/cla process and that are only deleted at
exit. What I observe is that the used memory on my system grows approximately
as much as actual identified memory leaks *after successive runs of Octave*. 

So YES, there is a significant amount of memory that is consumed (and not
understood) by the Octave process during a session with successive plot/figure
creations; NO this doesn't look like a memory leak since the mysterious
objects are properly freed at exit.
