Axel Howind commented on PDFBOX-5731: ------------------------------------- PS [~lehmi]: If these constants were not retained, the tests would also fail at once - I tried it yesterday to see what the actual effect of caching the instances is. I removed both maps and had getPDFName() create a new instance every time. The tests failed. This was surprising to me because it would mean that there's a problem with equals()/hashCode(). But that's not it. The problem is that in many places, COSName instances are compared using operator == instead of equals(). > org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSName#nameMap There is a memory leak problem. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-5731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5731 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.30, 3.0.1 PDFBox > Reporter: liu > Priority: Major > Attachments: COSName.java, > PDFBOX-5731_clear_out_unused_COSName_instances_automatically_PDFBOX2.patch, > PDFBox5731_clear_out_unused_COSName_instances_automatically_PDFBOX3.patch, > attempted_fix_for_PDFBOX-5731__clear_out_unused_COSName_instances_automatically.patch, > > attempted_fix_for_PDFBOX-5731__clear_out_unused_COSName_instances_automatically_2.patch, > > attempted_fix_for_PDFBOX-5731__clear_out_unused_COSName_instances_automatically_using_cleaner.patch, > image-2023-12-08-16-02-12-293.png, image-2023-12-13-17-04-22-073.png, > image-2023-12-14-18-10-14-278.png, screenshot-1.png, screenshot-2.png, > screenshot-3.png, screenshot-4.png, screenshot-5.png, screenshot-6.png, > screenshot-8.png > > > !image-2023-12-08-16-02-12-293.png! > !screenshot-1.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
