Symptoms
Consider the following scenarios.
Scenario 1
-
You run a Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) application that is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
-
The MFC application uses Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images as resources by repeatedly calling the internal CPngImage::LoadFromBuffer method.
Scenario 2
-
You run an MFC application that is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
-
The MFC application calls the CMFCRibbonBar class to implement ribbon bars.
NoteThe CMFCRibbonBar class for ribbon bars calls the CPngImage::LoadFromBuffer method. -
The ribbon bars contain categories and buttons that use PNG images as resources.
-
You repeatedly open and close a document that has customized ribbon bars.
In these scenarios, a memory leak occurs in the MFC application. Therefore, the memory usage of the application increases.
Cause
This issue occurs because memory is not freed. This memory is allocated by the CreateStreamOnHGlobal function in the CPngImage::LoadFromBuffer method.
Note The expected behavior is that the memory is freed after a stream is released. This stream is created by the CreateStreamOnHGlobal function.
