PRB: "Orphan" Metafiles Not Tracked by Debugging Windows (82168)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
This article was previously published under Q82168 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.
