[SOLVED]Doesn't QTableWidgetItems create memory leaks

[adnan]

We usually add items to QTableWidget in this manner
@QTableWidgetItem *item0 = new QTableWidgetItem();
QTableWidgetItem *item1 = new QTableWidgetItem();
ui->tableWidget->setItem(m, 0, item0);
ui->tableWidget->setItem(m, 1, item1);
item0->setText("entry1");
item1->setText("entry2");@

Now, if suppose we clear the table
@ui->tableWidget->clearContents();@
And again execute the code for displaying entry, new items will be created for displaying. Creating memory leaks, as there we did not delete the item1 and item2

If you actually look at the implementation file of "qtablewidget.cpp":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/4.7/src/gui/itemviews/qtablewidget.cpp

it actually deletes the items.

@void QTableModel::clearContents()
{
for (int i = 0; i < tableItems.count(); ++i) {
if (tableItems.at(i)) {
tableItems.at(i)->view = 0;
delete tableItems.at(i);
tableItems[i] = 0;
}

}  
reset();  

} @
