[osg-users] Memory leak when using a pixel buffer to generate thumbnails

[OpenSceneGraph Users]

Hi Robert,

I am using code extracted from the osgscreencapture example to generate 
small thumbnails of loaded shapes.
It all work is very nicely except that it is leaking memory on each usage.  
I have commented out our code and based on that and a few other tests I am 
fairly convinced that the leak is the pixel buffer (GraphicsContext) itself.


osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext>
createPixelBuffer(int aSize, int aNumSamples)
{
    osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext::Traits> traits = new 
osg::GraphicsContext::Traits;
    traits->x                                         = 0;
    traits->y                                         = 0;
    traits->width                                     = aSize;
    traits->height                                    = aSize;
    traits->red                                       = 8;
    traits->green                                     = 8;
    traits->blue                                      = 8;
    traits->alpha                                     = 8;
    traits->windowDecoration                          = false;
    traits->pbuffer                                   = true;
    traits->doubleBuffer                              = true;
    traits->sharedContext                             = 0;
    traits->readDISPLAY();
    traits->setUndefinedScreenDetailsToDefaultScreen();

    if (aNumSamples != 0)
    {
        traits->sampleBuffers = 1;
        traits->samples       = aNumSamples;
    }

    return osg::GraphicsContext::createGraphicsContext(traits.get());
}

bool
generateThumbnail(const std::string & aFilePath,
                  const std::string & aThumbnailPath,
                  const std::string & aResourcesPath,
                  int                 aSize,
                  bool                aTopDownView)
{
    auto pixelBuffer = createPixelBuffer(aSize, 8);
    if (!pixelBuffer)
    {
        pixelBuffer = createPixelBuffer(aSize, 0);
    }

//    const auto shape = loadShapeOrError(aFilePath);

    osg::ref_ptr<osgViewer::Viewer> viewer = new osgViewer::Viewer;
    auto              camera = viewer->getCamera();

    camera->setGraphicsContext(pixelBuffer.get());
    camera->setViewport(new osg::Viewport(0, 0, aSize, aSize));
    camera->setDrawBuffer(GL_BACK);
    camera->setReadBuffer(GL_BACK);

//    setupShapeViewer(viewer, shape.get(), aResourcesPath, aTopDownView);

//    osg::ref_ptr<ImageGrabber> grabber = new ImageGrabber(aThumbnailPath);
//    viewer.getCamera()->setPostDrawCallback(grabber.get());

    viewer->realize();
    viewer->frame();

    return true;
};


If I call the above code repeatedly then it leaks and I cannot understand 
why since everything is in osg:ref_ptr<>. 
The Viewer was a concrete instance originally but that makes no difference.
I have also tried using a slave camera as in the original example.
I have a nasty workaround of extracting a shared pixel buffer and re-using 
it - but ideally this code would be called using std::async, to have 
multiple thumbnails generated in parallel, so that is going to be tricky.

Kinda hoping you can point to my stupid mistake in how I am using osg ;)

Thanks,

Brian
