-Catching memory leaks in XS
+SDL_perl 2.3_5 is out!
 </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>

+So a new alpha is out on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.3_5/">CPAN</a>, after a bit of a break. We are trying to pick up our speed again. Hopefully we can get back to the weekly updates. This week I am going to try to get Mixer and TTF bindings test, redesigned and doc'd. Hopefully soon we can start working on Frozen Bubble, as things are starting to come together. This alpha release has finally given us a good implementation of SDL Timers. Also <a href="http://daniel.ruoso.com/categoria/perl/games-perl-1">Daniel Ruoso</a> has also started a series blog posts of making games with SDL Perl. Hopefully this can get more people in SDL, cause we can sure use the help!<br />
