Balázs Németh commented on SUREFIRE-1147:
-----------------------------------------
The issue I noticed was the constantly increasing memory usage of the
"Launcher" JVM process in JUnit, and had nothing to do with "ForkedBooter"
where the tests were actually executed. Anyway it's still happening with the
fix, but it's much slower so it seems acceptable.
> Unbounded memory usage when running MANY tests

> I'm writing concurrency tests, checking that this thing is reproducible, that
> other thing isn't, and so on. So i repeat tests MANY times like 100_000 (to
> reproduce the leak, the test project is here:
> https://github.com/vandekeiser/parallel-stream-fork-join-pool)
> I see in VisualVM that the culprit is WrappedReportEntry, which indirectly
> holds references to lots of byte[] and char[] (allocation traces and heap
> dump pics are included in attachment)
> I forked and patched maven-surefire-common, and that makes the leak go. I had
> to replace WrappedReportEntry.original by a singleton fake ReportEntry.
> Bebefore that i had replaced
> Utf8RecodingDeferredFileOutputStream.deferredFileOutputStream by a
> NullOutputStream and the leak was lesser but still here.
> My fork of maven-surefire-common is there:
> https://github.com/vandekeiser/maven-surefire/tree/master/maven-surefire-common.
> It IS a patch so i checked the patch checkbox in the issue reporter, but it
> is NOT intended to be distributed of course since it is very brutal and basic.
> Also in my test project i explicitly deactivated reporting, but that doesn't
> make the reporting leak go away at all:
> <disableXmlReport>true</disableXmlReport>
> <printSummary>false</printSummary>
