[vlc-devel] [PATCH] fix memory leak in video_output on Mac OS X

[Naohiro KORIYAMA]

Hello,

I recently created codec for ISDB(ARIB) subtitles, and tested it on
several platforms (Windows/Mac OS X/Linux).
During developing it,  huge memory leaks happened only on Mac OS X.
After some investigations, subpicture was not deleted only on Mac (in
video_output/macosx.m)
This memory leaks happen regardless having subtitles or not.

leaks(1) command helps me a lot :-)

The following logs are generated by leaks command with same video and
same playing time(6m30s)
Fixed log:

Latest nightly builds log:

Best regards,
