Description
I am not sure if I have gotten everything right, but from what I can see there is a memory leak every time I do a write to a Ti.Buffer.
var buffer = Ti.createBuffer({length: 1000});
var pos = 0;
var id = setInterval(OnInterval, 1000);
function OnInterval() {
buffer[pos++] = 1;
}
Every time OnInterval is called there is a memory loss of 176 bytes.
To rule out loss from the interval mechanism I did a test with a button instead:
var buffer = Ti.createBuffer({length: 1000});
var pos = 0;
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({ title: 'Click me'});
button.addEventListener("click", OnClick);
win.add(button);
win.open();
function OnClick() {
buffer[pos++] = 1;
}
In that case the heap growth was 164 bytes.

I'm having a very similar issue with an apparent memory leak using Ti.Buffer. I'm reading though a filestream to read sections of it to upload in chunks, this is a stripped down sample of what I'm doing:
I've tried various things such as buffer.release() instead of buffer.clear() etc, but the memory footprint grows by about 520KB every time I write to the buffer, and never goes down again. I can't seem to post a screenshot, but I'm seeing hundreds of records like this in instruments:
