Andreas L. Delmelle commented on FOP-2525:
------------------------------------------
Interesting... So, we know that the leakage does not occur in case of
standalone TTF files, but only in TTC. Since you have already done the VisualVM
profiling, any chance you can tell us to which root class(es) those uncollected
references are attached? That info would be of immense help in tracing and
possibly resolving this.
Thanks in advance!
> Memory leak present when using Truetype Collection (.ttc)
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOP-2525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2525
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: At least Mac and Linux, both Oracle VM and OpenJDK
> Reporter: Jeremy Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> When a TrueType Collection file is used to specify custom fonts, and a
> long-running FopFactory is used to create FOP instances to process many FO
> input documents, millions of
> org.apache.fop.complexscripts.fonts.GlyphPositioningTable$PairValues and
> org.apache.fop.complexscripts.fonts.GlyphPositioningTable$Values instances
> get created which are never collected. Thus the heap continues to grow,
> leading to eventual GC thrashing or crash.
> When the same fonts are used, but extracted from the TTC file, the issue does
> not occur, and the instances of those classes are collected normally.
> The issue can be seen by repeatedly processing a document with a config.xml
> which specifies fonts inside of a Truetype Collection file. Attaching
> VisualVM to such a process will show continuous heap growth and millions of
> aforementioned instances whose numbers never decrease.
