I have a strange memory leaks when creating Sprite Kit physics bodies with custom shapes. This is how my implementation looks:
CGFloat offsetX = self.frame.size.width * self.anchorPoint.x;
CGFloat offsetY = self.frame.size.height * self.anchorPoint.y;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, 4 - offsetX, 3 - offsetY);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 66 - offsetX, 3 - offsetY);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 35 - offsetX, 57 - offsetY);
CGPathCloseSubpath(path);
self.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithPolygonFromPath:path];
CGPathRelease(path);
Everything is going on inside SKSpriteNode
method. Instruments tells me about several memory leaks after creating such bodies:
Leaked object:
Malloc 32 Bytes
Size:
32 Bytes
Responsible Library:
PhysicsKit
Responsible Frame:
std::__1::__split_buffer<PKPoint, std::__1::allocator<PKPoint>&>::__split_buffer(unsigned long, unsigned long, std::__1::allocator<PKPoint>&)
The CGPathRelease(path);
line is necessary - without it I'm getting more memory leaks about CGPath
which is understandable. When I'm using this implementation instead (for testing purposes):
CGFloat radius = MAX(self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height) * 0.5f;
self.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithCircleOfRadius:radius];
...everything is working well, without memory leaks. I wonder if this is Sprite Kit bug or I'm doing something wrong.
This is a bug in sprite kit. You will have to wait for a fix.
