Hi Rodrigo,

I am not finding a recent commit in master that mentions 
“mono_method_get_header”. Do you happen to have the commit ID or log message 
handy?

Sorry for the bother,
Matt

The memory leak on mono_method_get_header was recently fixed in master.

I can confirm that Zoltan’s fix does indeed remove any leak instances with a 
call stack containing “ves_icall_Type_GetNestedTypes”, but unfortunately that 
accounted for only 36 leak instances out of the 19,900 reported.

I have filed a bug (https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=39940) and 
attached the latest valgrind output there.

Thanks again for any help you can provide,

Hi Zoltan,

Thank you for investigating my findings. I will apply the fix you linked to and 
report back. While I understand the other leaks are small, valgrind reported 
over 19,000 instances of leaked memory in under 5 minutes of our app running 
without load.

Hi,

  Fixed the last one in:
https://github.com/mono/mono/commit/b97ac0023256bf7d915552f5f24a7742b28c32b7

The first two are leaks, but they should be small and bounded. Will look into 
fixing them to decrease the noise.

Hello,



Our backend service running on Mono 4.2.2 on Linux is experiencing an unmanaged 
memory leak. When running our stress tests for several hours, we see the 
managed heap sit around 50 MB, while private memory keeps growing until the 
process is killed because of OOM. I am therefore attempting to use valgrind to 
find the culprit, but I am getting so many leaks detected that I think many 
must be false positives, so I thought I would ask here for some guidance about 
which are safe to suppress or any other valgrind + mono tricks you can share.



The vast majority of leaks reported have call stacks that closely match one of 
the following:

Are these valid leaks or is valgrind confused/misconfigured? I am using the 
following command:

valgrind --tool=memcheck -v --leak-check=full --log-file=val.txt 
--smc-check=all mono program.exe



Thanks for any input you can offer,

Matt Zinkevicius
