[vbox-dev] VirtualBox 5.x IDisplaySourceBitmap life cycle

Ok thanks for clearing this out.

I managed  to find the place where the memory is actually handled
- DisplaySourceBitmap::initSourceBitmap() in DisplaySourceBitmapImpl.cpp.
It seems that in case the VRAM is not used my assumption is true and the
IDisplaySourceBitmap frees the allocated memory in its dtor so as long as I
keep a reference I'm safe. But in case VRAM is used, what happens if a
IDisplaySourceBitmap instance
is still alive when the resolution changes - does the contained pointer
simply become invalid?
