Ticket #163 (closed defect: fixed)
CapeRegistry wrappers leak memory

Description
The wrappers for CapeRegistryWriter? and CapeRegistryKeyReader? add a reference too many to the constructed object, causing their memory not to be released (memory leak).
Code that uses these types (CapeRegistryWriter? and CapeRegistryKeyReader?) directly should be rebuilt against the new client headers. Most code would not use these types directly (but would use the Registrar types instead)

With "Most code would not use these types directly (but would use the Registrar types instead)" are you speaking of COBIA-based applications like Multiflash and would they be impacted or not by this issue (now resolved) if using the Registrar types?

I am not sure - the impact would in any case be small - some memory that remains allocated until the process exits.

Replying to jasper:

I would think this would affect COBIA based PMEs mostly as they use the registry when running 'normally'. COBIA PMCs only use the registry when registering or unregistering themselves, typically during (un-)installation only.
