Chandler May created THRIFT-3765: ------------------------------------ Summary: memory leak in python compact protocol extension Key: THRIFT-3765 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3765 Project: Thrift Issue Type: Bug Components: Python - Library Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Reporter: Chandler May
There is a memory leak in the compact protocol encoder extension module introduced in THRIFT-3612. This leak is significant enough to prevent us from using the extension in practice. Example output from valgrind: {code} ==18238== 4,177,472 bytes in 96,403 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3,534 of 3,534 ==18238== at 0x4C29BFD: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==18238== by 0x4EBD49C: PyObject_Malloc (in /usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so.1.0) ==18238== by 0x4EC6381: PyString_FromStringAndSize (in /usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so.1.0) ==18238== by 0x4EE9669: PyUnicodeUCS4_EncodeUTF8 (in /usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so.1.0) ==18238== by 0x143D0CC7: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:422) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: writeField (compact.h:100) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:531) ==18238== by 0x143D0F71: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:459) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: writeField (compact.h:100) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:531) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: writeField (compact.h:100) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:531) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: writeField (compact.h:100) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:531) ==18238== by 0x143D0F71: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:459) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: writeField (compact.h:100) ==18238== by 0x143D085B: apache::thrift::py::ProtocolBase<apache::thrift::py::CompactProtocol>::encodeValue(_object*, apache::thrift::py::TType, _object*) (protocol.tcc:531) {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
