Memory leak problem

[wangjwchn]

Hi,
Recently, I used FLAnimatedImage as a benchmark for my animate GIF engine in swift "JWAnimatedImage".But when I used it by writing this in the ViewController:
NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"test" withExtension:@"gif"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
FLAnimatedImage *image =[FLAnimatedImage animatedImageWithGIFData:data];
FLAnimatedImageView *imageView = [[FLAnimatedImageView alloc] init];
imageView.animatedImage = image;
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0,50.0,400.0,224.0);
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
When I run the program,the memory usage has been rising, increased from 6.6M to 14.7M in 2 minutes.You can see the Measurement at here.(https://github.com/wangjwchn/JWAnimatedImage)

I noticed this issue as well, the memory rises indefinitely in Xcode. Are there plans to address the memory leak and/or caching problem?

Thanks!

What gif are you using to test this out? test.gif?

I'm using NSData coming from a server

The only thing that grows in Allocations Instrument is Instruments related data from libBacktraceRecording.dylib (assuming you are using FLAnimatedImage demo).

The reason it "leaks" (not really, it just stores recordings into app's memory) is because FLAnimatedImage has Queue Debugging enabled:

Queue Debugging is enabled by default, make sure to disable it in your own projects. I haven't seen any leaks in my own projects, which have Queue Debugging disabled.

I noticed memory leaking for the following gif

The only hints I could find were in #177
