Unless I'm doing something silly, it looks like wxTimer leaks. It does in my app (outside the wxApp Onit()) and in the test code below.

XP tested only. [edit] Not a big drama as I can work around via globals, but thought I'd mention it.

SuperStrict

Framework wx.wxApp
Import wx.wxFrame
Import wx.wxTimer

Type MyApp Extends wxApp

	Field Window:wxFrame

	Method OnInit:Int()
	   	
		Window = New wxFrame.Create( ,,"Test wxTimer leak" ,,,500,500)
		Window.Centre()	
		Window.Show(True)
		
		Local timer:wxTimer
		Local memory:Int = GCMemAlloced()
		Local iterations:Int = 500000
		
		For Local loop:Int = 0 Until iterations
						
			timer = New wxTimer.Create()
			
			timer.Start(10)
			
			timer.Stop()
			
			'	Do I need this?
			timer.Free()
			
			timer = Null			
											
			Print GCMemAlloced()
			
			GCCollect()
		
		Next
		
		Print "Leak = " +(GCMemAlloced() - memory) + " bytes. Per cycle = " +Float(GCMemAlloced() - memory)/Float(iterations)
				
		Return True
	
	End Method

End Type

New MyApp.run()

I've updated wxTimer and added a Free() implementation.

You can call this when you want to completely remove an instance of wxTimer.

That's fixed it. Thanks Brucey!
