Memory leak? Macs Fan Control 1.1.11 OS 10.6.8

[jeanne]

I use FontAgent to control my fonts. MFC (MacsFanControl) crashes on startup, but once I open FontAgent & activate some basic fonts, MFC opens fine. But checking the Console log, there is still a problem. I am getting many NSAutoreleaseNoPool messages (sample below) from MFC.
I googled one of the messages and found the following, from: http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech ... index.html

Another interesting hazard is having no autorelease pool at all. Without an autorelease pool, objects sent an autorelease message (including NSCFString string literals that we saw above) have nowhere to go, and just leak all over the place. If you ever see a message like this coming from your application:

*** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x100110770 of class NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking

then you know that somewhere, an autorelease pool is needed but doesn't exist. This most commonly happens when using threads and failing to create an autorelease pool. As a rule, your thread's entry point method should create an autorelease pool at the beginning, then drain the pool at the end.

Thanks for the report, this issue is currently under investigation, presumably must be fixed for the next release

[jeanne]

thank you.

[jseliger]

I haven't checked the Console Logs, but I have noticed that MFC on 10.6.8 tends to eat more and more memory over time, eventually necessitating quitting and restarting.
