[Qt-qml] Valgrind and QML applications

[mikko.kiilholma at nokia.com]

Hi,

I used to use Valgrind with Qt applications succesfully to detect leaks. The "definitely lost" marked ones in the output appeared to be real ones.

I wonder if the situation is the same with QML applications. I mean that can I trust that the leaks that the tool claims to be leaks for sure are real?
Is the memory handling in QML making any difference?

I am asking this because the tool finds so many leaks in many applications and they are not the kind of leaks that occurs only once in a lifetime of application.
I am using Valgrind 3.5.0 with Qt4.7.1.

For example in struct SimpleList in qdeclarativeengine_p.h there is an array allocated but it is not always deleted and running a repetitive case seems to increase the leak count.
