Memory leak when calling debug version of OGRCreateCoordinateTransformation

[rayg]

The code sequence:

OGRSpatialReference refA, refB;

OGRCoordinateTransformation* pCT =

OGRCreateCoordinateTransformation(&refA, &refB);

will return NULL for pCT but memory is leaked in debug builds. I also suspect I get a memory leak when pCT is non-NULL, but need to do more tests.

Ray,

I've tried running Valgrind on the following code against GDAL trunk (debug build) and don't see any problem. Maybe there was a leak in 1.6.X series that has been fixed.

#include "ogr_api.h"
#include "ogr_spatialref.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    OGRSpatialReference refA, refB;

    OGRCoordinateTransformation* pCT =

        OGRCreateCoordinateTransformation(&refA, &refB);

    OGRCleanupAll();

    return 0;
}

I'll be upgrading to newer GDAL in a bit, so will take another look and see if I can confirm that the problem's gone (or if it's something specific to the build env).
