QPixmapCache maintains a mapping from QString to QPixmapCache::Key, in
the form of the cacheKeys QHash, but QPixmapCache::clear() didn't
touch it, leading to the string data (as well as the Keys) being
retained after any possible use. This can lead to memory slowly being
eaten up, as reported in QTBUG-112200, and prevents a periodic calling
of QPixmapCache::clear() from being a work-around for the issue in the
bug report.
Fix by clearing cacheKeys in QPixmapCache::clear().
This is designed as a low-risk enabler of a work-around, not a fix for
the issue. The work-around enabled by this is periodic calling of
QPixmapCache::clear().
[ChangeLog][QtGui][QPixmapCache] Fixed QString key data not being
freed on clear().
