I ran the Leaks tool with Emacs 29, and I've found a memory leak in the NS version of Emacs. Since commit c7b48b61d08f0b6a08584080badc60fe62ba1db1, in function ns_draw_relief, static local variables baseCol and lightCol are assigned to nil separately to their declaration. That has the subtle consequence that the further down calls to [baseCol release] and [lightCol release] become a no-op, so each time ns_draw_relief is called it leaks some instances of NSColor. The fix is to revert to the previous way those static variables were declared. I've attached a patch with the correction. With this fix, the leaks tool doesn't report the NSColor leaks anymore when I play around with Emacs 29. Thanks.
