Bug 1003

Summary: FLAC_close does not properly close SDL_RWops structure.
Product: SDL_mixer Reporter: tigerfishdaisy
Component: miscAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED INVALID QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2

Description tigerfishdaisy 2010-05-15 15:38:24 UTC 
When a FLAC File is opened using Mix_LoadMUS_RW( ... ), the corresponding music close call does not free the rwops structure.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2011-02-17 13:30:08 UTC 
The API doesn't have a 'freesrc' parameter which is usually used to indicate whether you manage the memory or you expect SDL_mixer to own it.  Right now it always assumes that you manage it, which results in memory leaks in the file-based interface.
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2011-12-31 15:38:09 UTC 
This isn't technically a bug, as I mentioned above.  The API assumes that you manage the life cycle of the rwops structure and close it after Mix_FreeMusic().

There was a memory leak when using the file interface, which has been fixed:

Thanks!
