About the question of QTcpServer, there memory leak

Test platform : the system of xp
When a client connects about forty times, the program's memory will gradually become bigger.

Want to help, thank you!

The complete code is as follows：
//================================================
//main.cpp
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "tcpserver.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

mytesttcpserver tcp;
tcp.show();

return a.exec();


}
//================================================
//tcpserver.h
#ifndef TCPSERVER_H
#define TCPSERVER_H

#include <QtGui>
#include <QDialog>
#include <QTcpServer>

QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
class QString;
class QLabel;
class QLineEdit;

//net
class QHostInfo;
class QHostAddress;
class QNetworkAddressEntry;
class QTcpSocket;

class myQTcpServer ublic QTcpServer
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
myQTcpServer(QObject *parent = 0);
signals:
void mysignalincomingConnection(int socketDescriptor);
protected:
void incomingConnection(int socketDescriptor);
};

//tcp server
class mytesttcpserver ublic QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
mytesttcpserver(QWidget *parent = 0);
public slots:
void slotincomingConnection(int socketDescriptor);
private:
QLabel *label;

myQTcpServer *tcpserver;
quint16 port;
int socket_count;

};

}

void myQTcpServer :: incomingConnection(int socketDescriptor)
{
emit mysignalincomingConnection(socketDescriptor);
}

mytesttcpserver :: mytesttcpserver(QWidget *parent)

{
setWindowTitle(tr("TCP server Test"));

{

connect(tcpserver,SIGNAL(mysignalincomingConnectio n(int)),this,SLOT(slotincomingConnection(int)));
}
else
{

}

}


void mytesttcpserver :: slotincomingConnection(int socketDescriptor)
{
QTcpSocket testTcpSocket;
testTcpSocket.setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor );

socket_count++;
QString msg;
msg=QString("count:%1").arg(socket_count,0,10);
msg=msg+" IP:"+testTcpSocket.peerAddress().toString()+" port:"+vport.toString();
lineEditText->setText(msg);

testTcpSocket.disconnectFromHost();
testTcpSocket.close();
testTcpSocket.abort();
}
//================================================== ======
//code end

How does your program meant to work?
Does a new dialog gets created for each new connection?
Can there be multiple connections (and dialogs) running at the same time?

I see that in your code:

tcpserver=new myQTcpServer;

tcpserver=new myQTcpServer;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

is being allocated for each dialog, but it never gets destroyed - so this IS a memory leak for sure.
You can fix this either by giving your tcpserver a parent, or, by manually deleting it in the dialog destructor.

The complete code is as follows：

heh... if I had a cent for each time this line was appropriate....

The problem of memory leak has been solved, thank you!
The memory leak problem does not occur with the version of QT4.6.
the version of QT4.5.3 has this problem.
