Take a look at this code:<br>
<br>
printf("REF COUNT A: %d\n", cairo_font_face_get_reference_count(fface));<br>
<br>
cairo_set_font_face(cr, fface);<br>
<br>
printf("REF COUNT B: %d\n", cairo_font_face_get_reference_count(fface));<br>
<br>
cairo_set_font_size(cr, 36);<br>
cairo_show_glyphs(cr, g, 1);<br>
<br>
printf("REF COUNT C: %d\n", cairo_font_face_get_reference_count(fface));<br>
<br>
cairo_destroy(cr);<br>
cairo_surface_destroy(surf);<br>
<br>
printf("REF COUNT D: %d\n", cairo_font_face_get_reference_count(fface));<br>
<br>
cairo_font_face_destroy(fface); <br>
<br>
printf("REF COUNT E: %d\n", cairo_font_face_get_reference_count(fface));<br>
<br>
This prints the following here:<br>
<br>
REF COUNT A: 1<br>
REF COUNT B: 2<br>
REF COUNT C: 4<br>
REF COUNT D: 3<br>
REF COUNT E: 2<br>
<br>
The values for ref count A, B, C are look correct AFAICS but what about the ref count value D? As you can see, I get 3 for ref count D but shouldn't this be back to 1 at this stage? <br>
<br>
Consequently, since ref count value D is still 3, the ensuing call to cairo_font_face_destroy() won't actually destroy the font face but just decrease its ref count to 2 but isn't this wrong?<br>
<br>
To me it looks like either cairo_destroy() or cairo_show_glyphs() don't unref the font face correctly. I'd expect that after cairo_destroy() returns the ref count should be back to 1, shouldn't it?<br>
<br>
Or am I doing/understanding something wrong here?<br>
<br>
I'm attaching the full little demo program.<br>
