[Openmcl-devel] memory management and OpenGL trouble

[Alexander Repenning]

With the latest version of CCL x86 32/64, 1.6-dev-r14265M-trunk  (DarwinX8664) all of our OpenGL code crashes. The same source works fine in 1.6-dev-r14231M-trunk and all versions before. I have not tested versions in between. It is as if some memory management changed. Is the cocoa bridge more aggressive in getting rid of non-retained objective-C objects?

When creating a window with an opengl view the crash looks like this:

Thread 4 Crashed:

6   ???                           	0x0000000017a18fd0 0 + 396464080

The dealloc makes no sense and cannot be traced back to the Lisp code:

        (when View-to-Share
            (let ((glContext
                   (#/initWithFormat:shareContext: 
                    (#/openGLContext Native-Control)
                    Pixel-Format ;; redundant but should be OK
                    (#/openGLContext (native-view View-to-Share)))))
              (unless glContext (error "cannot share OpenGLContext of view ~A" View-to-Share)))))
        (#/release Pixel-Format)
        Native-Control))))

Wrapping up the (#/initWithFormat:shareContext: with a (#/retain will postpone this crash but not for long

This code goes back to about CCL 1.2 and worked fine for a long time. Any suggestions on what changed relatively recently that could cause this kind of behavior? Also, the crash is for 32 and 64 bit
