Hi,
Von: Markus Schaber
>[Memory Leaks]
I now created a smaller stand-alone testcase simulating our environment, and
isolated the following cases:
- using Python.SetTrace(engine, delegate) leaks about 165k per script
invocation.
- importing the warning module from the hosting environment leaks about 1.4 M
per script run.
- importing the os module from the script also leaks about 1.4M per script.
- Doing both imorts also leaks about 1.4M per script(!).
- Combining all three of the above leads to an OutOfMemory Exception after
about 331 cycles, boiling down to a leak of ~5MB per script run!
- Doing none of the above (only print) apparently creates a leak-free program.
I attached the test program. For the test runs above, I compiled it for .NET
4.0 and target "x86", as our production app also runs in that environment (.NET
4.0 and 32-bit only).
I'll do further investigations (like memory dumping) tomorrow.
Best regards
Markus Schaber
