Why this code, running repeatedly in a custom object moved to QThread instance, produces memory leak?
void QCustomHTTPManager::compare()
{
// custom code to create request and multiPart content
QNetworkReply *reply = networkaccessmanager->post(request,&multiPart);
connect(reply,&QNetworkReply::finished,eventloop,&QEventLoop::quit);
eventloop->exec();
emit compared();
reply->deleteLater();
}
memory leak is around 8 bytes per call
Platform: Ubuntu 20.04, x86_64 CPU, Qt 5.14.2
To check maybe some other parts of my program belongs to the leak i have remove post() and no memory leak has been detected:
void QCustomHTTPManager::compare()
{
// custom code to create request and multiPart content
QTimer::singleShot(1,loop,&QEventLoop::quit);
eventloop->exec();
emit compared();
}
It was an issue of Qt build 5.14.2. No memory leaks for the requested code above have been reproduced with Qt 5.9.7 and 6.4.1
