DrMemory and Qt5

[Carlsberg]

I was using this DrMemory program to check for memory leaks, and only from starting and closing the application I get about 160 leak reports, all in the same place: QLocalePrivate::decimal. They look like this


Error #3936: LEAK 12 direct bytes 0x0290ad38-0x0290ad44 + 0 indirect bytes

The stacks are various, but they all end up in QLocalePrivate::decimal.

Is this a real problem?

Thank you

Hm,


QChar decimal() const { return QChar(m_data->m_decimal); }

don't looks like that could be a memory leak.

Yeah, I end up there too, but I'm not familiar with the Qt code too much, that's why I was wondering.
