[CS6] [InDesign SDK] Any way to export SWF without a memory leak?

It's disconcerting that you didn't encounter a leak. Being sceptical of my code elsewhere, I re-wrote the sample to be completely self-contained. I still have a memory leak, but if something is going wrong then it's all limited to just the following code:

ErrorCode ExportSWF_MemoryLeak()

{

IDocument* frontDocument = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();

if (frontDocument == nil) return kFailure;

UIDRef documentUIDRef = ::GetUIDRef(frontDocument);

if (documentUIDRef == kInvalidUIDRef) return kFailure;

//

AFile swfAFile("/Users/localadmin/Documents/ExportSWF.swf");

IDFile swfFileName(swfAFile);

//

ErrorCode status = kFailure;

InterfacePtr<IPMStream> outStream(StreamUtil::CreateFileStreamWriteLazy(swfFileName, kOpenOut | kOpenTrunc));

SDKFileHelper fileHelper(swfFileName);

if (fileHelper.GetPath().empty())

{

ASSERT_FAIL("Invalid or missing filename.");

return kFailure;

}

// create the SWF export action command

InterfacePtr<ICommand> swfExportCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSWFExportCommandBoss));

if (swfExportCmd == nil)

{

ASSERT(swfExportCmd);

return kFailure;;

}

// Set Target

UIDList items(documentUIDRef.GetDataBase());

InterfacePtr<IPageList const> pageList(documentUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

for (int32 pageIndex = 0, pageCount = pageList->GetPageCount(); pageIndex < pageCount; ++pageIndex)

items.Append(pageList->GetNthPageUID(pageIndex));

swfExportCmd->SetItemList(items);

// Set cmd data

// IID_IDYNDOCSEXPORTCOMMANDDATA

InterfacePtr<IDynamicDocumentsExportCommandData> dynamicDocsCmdData(swfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID());

dynamicDocsCmdData->SetStream(outStream);

dynamicDocsCmdData->SetUIFlags(kSuppressUI);

// IID_ISWFEXPORTPREFERENCES

InterfacePtr<ISWFExportPreferences> swfCmdData(swfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID());

InterfacePtr<IWorkspace> iAppWS(GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryWorkspace());

InterfacePtr<ISWFExportPreferences> iSWFExportPrefs(iAppWS, UseDefaultIID());

swfCmdData->Copy(iSWFExportPrefs);

// process the command

return CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(swfExportCmd);

}

At the top I grab the front document to get the document uid, and I also hard code the file path. These replace the parameters that were previously passed in. (Note if you do test the above that you should change the path to something that exists on your machine.)

@Bartek I've not replied to your other comment because I'm still working on that. My early result is a problem in the K2Memory namespace. I'm still researching what this means.

To respond to some of your suggestions.

1) Trying

pageList->Release();

pageList.forget();

Didn't improve things. The page list is wrapt in an InterfacePtr<> so doing things manually don't seem to help.

2) Not sure what you mean by "Set Target". Whenever I think of setting the target I think of setting the OS target. But I don't think you mean that.

3) I've been trying to make heads or tails of the memory tracker report.

I can't see any familiar class types within the report. I had thought that some of the hex number might have been references to class IDs but they appear to be just locations in memory.

Sorry. It's my first time looking over the output from memory tracker so it's all very new to me. Here's the full report if you're curious:

Leaks! 2 leaks, 130072 bytes

If you suspect that these leaks happened during a test you should compare these

allocation numbers with the starting and ending marks reported in
