PRB: "Orphan" Metafiles Not Tracked by Debugging Windows |
Q82168
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
SUMMARY
If an application fails to delete a GDI object (for example, a pen) before it shuts down, the debugging version of Windows will write a warning message to the debug terminal. However, the debugging version of Windows does not produce a warning message if an application creates a metafile and does not delete it before termination.
This behavior does not unduly constrain memory because metafiles are stored in global memory and are freed automatically at application termination.
