About automation, regrtest -R checks memory leaks using sys.getallocatedblocks(). But this function only tracks PyMem_Malloc() and PyObject_Malloc() (which is now technically the same memory allocator, since Python 3.6: https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/memory.html#default-memory-allocators ) I tried to track PyMem_RawMalloc() using regrtest but... the raw memory allocator is not really "deterministic", it's hard to get reliable behavior. See: bpo-26850. Tracking memory leaks is an hard topic :-) I'm happy that I finally fixed tracemalloc to track properly objects in free lists: bpo-35053! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35056> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
