Staci Cooper commented on CB-6924:
----------------------------------
I've looked into this with Visual Studio's memory profiler and saw that the
leak was an issue with the CordovaView. I thought that I had it isolated to the
CordovaBrowser_Navigated handler, which injects scripts for the
BrowserDecorators. I narrowed it down to ConsoleHelper, and suspected that the
issue was related to the OnServiceClosing handler preventing garbage collection
of the entire Main Page. Commenting out that section cleaned the leak. But
after playing around with it for awhile and coming back to the code I wasn't
able to recreate it. I must have been doing something else as well.
I noticed that the CordovaView has an 'IsBrowserInitialized' bool to "prevent
data clearing during page transitions". It is evaluated during the
CordovaBrowser_Loaded handler, which returns if it is true and then sets it to
true before continuing. Is the purpose of this to prevent the CordovaView from
being reconstructed every time MainPage is loaded? (Which is currently the
case). Or is this expected behavior?

> Key: CB-6924
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6924
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: WP8
> Affects Versions: Master
> Reporter: Staci Cooper
> Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen
> Attachments: memleak.zip
>
>
> Context: Modify HelloWorld Cordova app for WP8 by adding a native page as the
> start page. Then give it a button to navigate to the Cordova page,
> MainPage.xaml
> Launch application to opening page (native).
> Click button to go to Cordova page.
> Click hardware back button to go to opening page.
> Repeat 4 times.
> When inspecting the memory profile, you see a steady increase in memory, and
> 5 copies of MainPage which have not been garbage collected (even if you force
> garbage collection).
> If this is done enough times the app crashes due to surpassing memory limit.
