      Please run the attached code in QtQuick 1.1 or QtQuick 2.0,
      and observe the dirty memory with pmap -x <PID>

      import QtQuick 1.1

Rectangle
{
    id: top
    width: 200; height: 200
    color: "white"
    property variant item

    Timer {
        id: timer
        running: true; repeat: true
        interval: 5
        onTriggered: {
            if(item)
                item.destroy();
            item = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtQuick 1.1; Rectangle {color: "red"; width: 50; height: 50; radius: 20; anchors.centerIn:parent; function test(){}}',
                                      top);
        }
    }

    Timer{
        id: timer2
        running: true; repeat: true
        interval: 50
        onTriggered: gc();
    }
}

      The Dirty memory increases constantly until the application is manually closed or closed by OOM killer in low memory devices.

      calling of gc() also doesn’t help.

      Also, if it doesnt have the javascript function "test" called, it works well.

      item = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtQuick 1.1; Rectangle {color: "red"; width: 50; height: 50; radius: 20; anchors.centerIn:parent}',top);
