Debugging memory leaks can be hard, in any language.
No kidding. I thought when I identified the suspect class two days ago I was nearly there ;-)
Another place to look
for ideas is in the top-level test.py from a current Zope HEAD checkout (or
2.7 branch, or Zope3).
OK, will do.
2. "Reference cycles". Big topic <wink>.
Seeing as the suspect leaker contains code like:
other = Foo() other.reciprocal = self self.reciprocal = other
I fear the worst ;-)
...but my (naive?) reading of the documentation was that reference cycles are cleaned out by the garbage collector, *unless* they define a __del__ (which is not the case here). How am I wrong?
Thanks,
