Title: Severe memory leak from Canvas.Pixels[X,Y]:=aColor;
Post by: mm7 on December 24, 2015, 08:15:38 pm
Graphical application uses lots of calls Canvas.Pixels[X,Y]:=aColor;
Memory grows constantly. Valgrind leak analysis shows that leaks originated from
procedure TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel [qtobject.inc]
Pen := QPen_create(QPainter_pen(Painter));

I suspect lots of pens are created and not released.

Lazarus 1.4.4
Linux Ubuntu 14.04

Please open an issue about it and I'll fix it, also do not forget to attach example project.

ok, QPainter_destroy() is missing there ...

I've fixed that in trunk. Will be merged to 1.6.
If you want it fixed on your 1.4.XX then you must add QPen_destroy(Pen); after
finally
   QPainter_setPen(Painter, Pen);
   QPen_destroy(Pen); <---- add this
end;
in TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel() and rebuild lazarus.

Thank you zeljko!
I'll do this.

PS/ I am not familiar with QT graphics, but it seems to me it is not very efficient to create pen - destroy pen each call.
How about to define pen field on class level and then use in SetPixel?
Something like below.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2. TQtWidgetSet = Class(TWidgetSet)          
  3. private
  4. ...
  5.     FPenForSetPixel: QPenH;
  6. ...
  7.  
  8. procedure TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel(CanvasHandle: HDC; X, Y: integer; AColor: TGraphicsColor);
  9. var
  10.   Color: TQColor;
  11.   ColorRef: TColorRef;
  12.   Painter: QPainterH;
  13.   Pen:QPenH;
  14. begin
  15.   if IsValidDC(CanvasHandle) then
  16.   begin
  17.     // WriteLn('TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel X=',X,' Y=',Y, ' AColor=',dbghex(AColor),' rgb ? ',dbgHex(ColorToRGB(AColor)));
  18.     Painter := TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).Widget;
  19.     {Save current pen.Better save copy of pen instead of
  20.      using painter save/restore, or saved Pen in devicecontext which
  21.      may be null. Issue #27620}
  22.  
  23.     {Use global pen for SetPixel operation to avoid creation/destroying on each call.
  24.      Create if not exusts}
  25.     if FPenForSetPixel = nil then
  26.       begin
  27.       FPenForSetPixel := QPen_create();
  28.       QPen_setWidth(FPenForSetPixel,1);
  29.       end;
  30.     Pen:=QPainter_pen(Painter); //save current Pen
  31.     try
  32.       ColorRef := TColorRef(ColorToRGB(AColor));
  33.       QColor_fromRgb(@Color, Red(ColorRef), Green(ColorRef), Blue(ColorRef));
  34.       QPen_setColor(FPenForSetPixel, @Color);
  35.       QPainter_setPen(Painter, FPenForSetPixel);
  36.       QPainter_drawPoint(Painter, X,Y);
  37.     finally
  38.       QPainter_setPen(Painter, Pen); //restore current pen
  39.     end;
  40.   end;
  41. end;

Another idea, why to use Pen?
Why not just simly use QImage_setPixel, similarly to DCGetPixel?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel(CanvasHandle: HDC; X, Y: integer; AColor: TGraphicsColor);
  2. var
  3.   ColorRef: TColorRef;
  4.   Rgb:QRgb;
  5.   ColorH: QColorH;
  6. begin
  7.   if IsValidDC(CanvasHandle) then
  8.   begin
  9.     // WriteLn('TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel X=',X,' Y=',Y, ' AColor=',dbghex(AColor),' rgb ? ',dbgHex(ColorToRGB(AColor)));
  10.     ColorRef := TColorRef(ColorToRGB(AColor));
  11.     try
  12.       ColorH:=QColor_create(Red(ColorRef), Green(ColorRef), Blue(ColorRef));
  13.       Rgb:=QColor_rgba(ColorH);
  14.       QImage_setPixel(TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).vImage.Handle, X,Y, Rgb);
  15.     finally
  16.       QColor_destroy(ColorH);
  17.     end;
  18.   end;
  19. end;  
  20.  

it works 4 times faster.

While that might be true that method works 4 times faster, it's a good thing he's bringing this up because bugs need to be squashed. ;)

Because vImage can be nil.

Yes, it's possible to have cached pen object.

It does not sound convincing. TQtWidgetSet.DCGetPixel uses QImage_pixel. It just checks if vImage is not nil.

Yes, I've forgot to check if vImage is not nil there in my variant of DCSetPixel.
Here it is now.

I've already commited that (see r51040 in trunk). There's also difference between device type (QWidget,QPixmap, QImage) ...

Thank you zeljko!

Following should be removed from var section.
Color: TQColor;

For QWidget and QPixmap I will add Painter code in SetPixel.
BTW, hashing of Pen does not work. Calling QPainter_setPen overrides previously "saved" pen taken by QPainter_pen.
Unfortunately I do not know a standard way to save/restore just Pen.
I am looking into documented QPainter_save / QPainter_restore. Or will return to create /destroy pen each time.
Whatever is less expensive...

Finally I've managed GetPixel to work with other Canvas, like TForm.Canvas.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. function TQtWidgetSet.DCGetPixel(CanvasHandle: HDC; X, Y: integer): TGraphicsColor;
  2. var
  3.   Color: QColorH;
  4.   Widget: QWidgetH;
  5.   Pixmap: QPixmapH;
  6.   Image: QImageH;
  7.   Painter: QPainterH;
  8.   Rgb: QRgb;
  9. begin
  10.   Result := clNone;
  11.  
  12.   if not IsValidDC(CanvasHandle) then Exit;
  13.  
  14.   if (TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).vImage <> nil) then
  15.     begin
  16.       Color := QColor_create(QImage_pixel(TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).vImage.Handle, X, Y));
  17.       Result := RGBToColor(QColor_red(Color), QColor_green(Color), QColor_blue(Color));
  18.       QColor_destroy(Color);
  19.     end
  20.   else if (TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).Widget <> nil) then
  21.     begin
  22.       Widget := TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).Parent; //Parent is actually QWidgetH, and Widget is QPainterH.
  23.       if (Widget = nil) then
  24.         raise Exception.CreateFmt('TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle) %u : does not have Widget',[PtrUInt(CanvasHandle)]);
  25.       Image := QImage_create(1,1, QImageFormat_ARGB32);
  26.       Pixmap:= QPixmap_create(1,1);
  27.       try
  28.         QPixmap_grabWidget(Pixmap, Widget, X,Y, 1,1);
  29.         //QPixmap_grabWindow(Pixmap, QWidget_winId(Widget) ,X,Y,1,1); //this may cause hangs in linux
  30.         QPixmap_toImage(PixMap,Image);
  31.         Rgb := QImage_Pixel(Image, 0,0);
  32.         Color := QColor_create(Rgb);
  33.         Result := RGBToColor(QColor_red(Color), QColor_green(Color), QColor_blue(Color));
  34.       finally
  35.         if Pixmap <> nil then QPixmap_destroy(Pixmap);
  36.         if Image <> nil then QImage_destroy(Image);
  37.         if Color <> nil then QColor_destroy(Color);
  38.       end;
  39.     end
  40.     else
  41.      begin
  42.        raise Exception.CreateFmt('TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle) %u : does not have vImage or Painter',[PtrUInt(CanvasHandle)]);
  43.      end;
  44. end;
  45.  

And here is setPixel that works with Canvas of a bitmap and other canvas like TForm.Canvas.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel(CanvasHandle: HDC; X, Y: integer; AColor: TGraphicsColor);
  2. var
  3.   ColorRef: TColorRef;
  4.   Painter: QPainterH;
  5.   Pen:QPenH;
  6.   Rgb:QRgb;
  7.   Color: QColorH;
  8. begin
  9.   if IsValidDC(CanvasHandle) then
  10.   begin
  11.     // WriteLn('TQtWidgetSet.DCSetPixel X=',X,' Y=',Y, ' AColor=',dbghex(AColor),' rgb ? ',dbgHex(ColorToRGB(AColor)));
  12.  
  13.     if (TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).vImage <> nil) then
  14.       begin
  15.         ColorRef := TColorRef(ColorToRGB(AColor));
  16.         try
  17.           Color:=QColor_create(Red(ColorRef), Green(ColorRef), Blue(ColorRef));
  18.           Rgb:=QColor_rgba(Color);
  19.           QImage_setPixel(TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).vImage.Handle, X,Y, Rgb);
  20.         finally
  21.           QColor_destroy(Color);
  22.         end;
  23.       end
  24.     else if (TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).Widget <> nil) then
  25.       // It is not bitmap. Fallback to Painter drawPoint.
  26.       begin
  27.         Painter := TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle).Widget;
  28.         {Save current pen.Better save copy of pen instead of
  29.          using painter save/restore, or saved Pen in devicecontext which
  30.          may be null. Issue #27620}
  31.         Pen := QPen_create(QPainter_pen(Painter)); //save current pen
  32.  
  33.         {Create pen for SetPixel from scratch to prevent inheriting Width
  34.          and other Pen properties from Painter current Pen.}
  35.         if FPenForSetPixel = nil then
  36.           FPenForSetPixel := QPen_create;
  37.  
  38.         try
  39.           ColorRef := TColorRef(ColorToRGB(AColor));
  40.           QColor_fromRgb(@Color, Red(ColorRef), Green(ColorRef), Blue(ColorRef));
  41.           QPen_setColor(FPenForSetPixel, @Color);
  42.           QPainter_setPen(Painter, FPenForSetPixel);
  43.           QPainter_drawPoint(Painter, X,Y);
  44.         finally
  45.           QPainter_setPen(Painter, Pen); //restore saved pen
  46.           QPen_destroy(Pen);  //destroy the saved pen.
  47.         end;
  48.       end
  49.      else
  50.       begin
  51.         raise Exception.CreateFmt('TQtDeviceContext(CanvasHandle) %u : does not have vImage or Widget',[PtrUInt(CanvasHandle)]);
  52.       end;
  53.   end;
  54. end;
  55.  

Of course with bitmap canvas set/getPixel work much faster. ;)

Should I open an issue for memory leak in DCSetPixel?
Or for new feature in DCGetPixel?
Or for both?

Memory leak is fixed in trunk, so no need to open issue. Open it for improved DCSetPixel and DCGetPixel
