IRB with readline "leaks" streams, leaving GC to clean them up --------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4791 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4791 Project: JRuby Issue Type: Bug Components: Extensions Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5 Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter Assignee: Charles Oliver Nutter Fix For: JRuby 1.6 This was reported in JRUBY-4767 in this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4767?focusedCommentId=221014&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_221014 The problem is that jline (our readline library) opens but never closes two streams from a subprocess exec. They eventually get closed when GC runs, but until then they linger. I've committed a fix to jline and this will be fixed once we have a jline release out and updated in JRuby. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
