[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Abnormal memory growing (macosx)

[jmvallat_vlc at mac.com]

[Mac OS X 10.2.x and later]


To avoid a "large" (time depend) amount of objects to be retained  
until the end of the application, the following patch can be applied.
(Currently, even when idle, the application scrupulously retain at  
least one useless NSDate every 1/10 second...)


Cheers,
JeanMi.
