Thanks for the patch, Brad. But are you sure this is still the case with the latest mp1? This thread that you've quoted is 4 years old. And it doesn't show any code that may cause such a leak.
I'm reasonable sure I got the leaks with apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27. I don't know about newer versions.
I've looked again and can't find the code I used, I think it was defining a sub which was probably the leak.
it's not a crime, but if you're running Perl code during restart there's a strong chance you'll be growing the server size. i agree 1M is bizarre though.
In which case this should probably mention:
+Also, be aware that <Perl> sections can also cause leaks during +graceful restarts. See the (sub)thread: +http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/modperl/304620
"when running some perl code"? as in 'besides using <perl> sections to do dynamic configuration'?
I took the "if you're running Perl code during restart" to include dynamic configuration code. I don't really understand the process so I'll defer to you. I'd just like to see <perl> sections mentioned as a possible culprit.
Well, I hoped that someone will tune in and share a code sample, but as noone did (at least yet) I've just committed your original patch, warning about the possibility of the leak.
Thank you, Brad. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
