-Catching memory leaks in XS
+Frozen Bubble coming to CPAN
 </h1>
 <div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>&nbsp;I slay dragons, yonder</i></div><br />So I am trying to find and plug memory leaks in SDL perl. Most of the <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49084">memory leaks</a> occur because in XS a reference is still held. One very expensive mem leak was caught by TELS really early on <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17976">here</a>. The problem occurs where in XS there is<br /><br /><blockquote><i>RETVAL</i><i> = (cast *) safemalloc( ... );</i></blockquote>&nbsp;and safefree(...) is never called.<br />Here is a in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/63ebaa682697728f5946f700a2b2c12534b1b821/src/SDL.xs">code example</a> lines 1082 on. <br /><br />My question is how I can mitigate these memory leaks? One idea I had was to store all malloc'd pointers to an array that is safefree'd on DESTROY or hooked into perl GC somehow .<br /><br /><br />Any guidance is helpful.<br /><br /><i>--yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-7742659740534179607?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+<div style="text-align: left;">There has been some interest in making Frozen Bubble cross platform so I have forked Frozen Bubble v2.0 to my github<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/frozen-bubble/tree/master"> repo</a>. Any contributors are welcome! I will eventually be removing hacks that were needed to make Frozen Bubble work with the old SDL perl. The plan is to make Frozen Bubble cross platform by removing platform specific hacks and dependencies. One of the major switch will be from BSD sockets to SDL_net through SDL perl or XS. The main goal would be to be able to do&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">cpan install FrozenBubble</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">To do this the Makefile.PL will need to be rewritten a little bit. Moreover we will need to make test using code from Frozen Bubble so that it can be smoke tested on CPAN. &nbsp;If contributors need more information please contact me.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4948555691607200165?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
