C-API / SDK 1.12.3 on Linux.
In my sprite update function, if I move my sprite:
playdate->sprite->moveTo( alien_ptr, cx, cy );
I have no issues.
However, if I move my sprite:
int collision_count;
SpriteCollisionInfo *collisions = playdate->sprite->moveWithCollisions( alien_ptr, cx, cy, NULL, NULL, &collision_count );
playdate->system->realloc( collisions, 0 );
I see a ever-increasing memory usage. I'm reasonably sure there are no collisions occurring during either move operation.
Is there some further clean-up that needs to be done after calling this function?
(aside) I rely on the collision handler functions being called, and have no use for the array returned. It would be good if there was a version of this function that did not allocate the list. Or at least one that I could pass a list to, that would save the malloc().
I run the code through valgrind, and I can see the leak being found, but the functions it's reported in seem to be weird - at first I thought the leak was in the simulator memory panel.
