Memory Leaks on Juce Timer Messages

When closing down a 64 bit Cubase project that is running a Juce 64 bit plugin I get the following Leaked objects message. Is this my fault? I don’t believe I ever explicitly create any messages of these kinds.

The thread ‘Win64 Thread’ (0xb88) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread ‘Win64 Thread’ (0xd90) has exited with code 1 (0x1).
The thread ‘Juce Timer’ (0xa70) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Yeah, this gets mentioned very often… I think I might actually just remove the leak detector from that class in the plugin build.

Because the host is in charge of the event queue, it’s quite possible that the plugin posts one of these messages, and then gets deleted before the event is delivered - so inevitably the event is lost. Not a big deal, they’re very small and only one or two will be lost each time the plugin is unloaded from memory.

Again thanks for the super fast response. I will ignore the leak messages.

I am getting a lot of these messages when I run my plugin in the Juce VST host. Am i not implementing some callback somewhere perhaps ?

etc
I’m not knowingly using the CallbackMessage anywhere in my code. How can I determine which object these callback messages are related to ?

Thanks

I’m not using the latest tip but I don’t think this is something in the framework. I think I had something similar once but can’t recall what it was that leaked.

I’m not sure, whether this is the best way, but what I do is removing components/objects (with tags like "//LEAKTESTSLIDER1 " that can be undone easily with a replace) until the leak dissapears. Best to start with the editor (return false in hasEditor() and 0 in createEditor()).

I’d expect to see a couple of undelivered messages get leaked sometimes, but 200 is a bit much! Sounds like you might be leaking them in your own code, or maybe you have a huge number of AsyncUpdater objects constantly pumping out these messages?
