[cairo] Possible memory leak in cairo_font_extents & cairo_text_extents

[Yann Suissa]

Hello everybody,

First of all i want to say that the cairo lib is really nice, i really enjoy
using it.

I often use Valgrind to check memory leaks and other issues, and i think
there could be a little something in the cairo lib.
The 2 functions that could be incriminated are cairo_font_extents &
cairo_text_extents, i didn't find any destroy/free method in the sources and
documentation.
Those 2 functions are supposed to fill structs and free all what has been
used, that's why the fact that no destroy/free methods makes sense.

Here is how i use them :

cas = cairo_xlib_surface_create(dpy, win, visual, RESX, RESY);
cr = cairo_create(cas);
[...]
cairo_font_extents(cr, &f_ext);
[...]
cairo_text_extents(cr, str, &t_ext);
[...]
cairo_destroy(cr);
cairo_surface_destroy(cas);

I use TTF fonts i think it uses the freetype lib.

Here is what Valgrind says after execution :
