Hi,

I just wanted to warn you guys that the fpTimer.pp unit causes memory leaks. It was originally based on my code (which I still have). I first tried with the TFPTimer included in FCL and got memory leaks. I then tried my original version which TFPTimer is based on, and I don't get memory leaks.

I'll investigate the memory leak issue further to try and see where it occurs.

Regards,

Today on #fpc we were speaking about timers and I refered to the fptimer unit. While I checked in the svn logs for its initial version (was it in fpc 2.2.2 or not), I saw no update. Was there a memory leak in this unit or is this thread a false alarm.

Yes, from my last tests in June there was. I have not looked at it again, though it's still no my (long) todo list.
