In my MVC application there is Castle Windsor used as it is described here: https://github.com/castleproject/Windsor/blob/master/docs/mvc-tutorial-part-2-plugging-windsor-in.md
When "container.Kernel.ReleaseComponent(controller)" is called, this controller is not disposed and remains in memory forever - it introduce memory leak. The reason for this must be: There is only one difference, when you get a controller instance, there is called extension method, which adds some login functionality to controller: *protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)* * {* * if (controllerType == null)* * {* * throw new HttpException(404,* * $"The controller for path '{requestContext.HttpContext.Request.Path}' could not be found.");* * }* * return ((IController)container.Kernel.Resolve(controllerType)).AddControllerLoggingFunctionality(); // if it is without extension methos, there is no memory leak:* * //return (IController)container.Kernel.Resolve(controllerType);* * }* The controller instance looks like this: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-caNhjJ3C8Uc/WKr7UycBBaI/AAAAAAAAC6Q/T-pMPEje3NkSlz29whUja5nQeYZklYOiwCLcB/s1600/controller.JPG> So, AddControllerLoggingFunctionality is responsible for memory leak. This method is inside Logger class and use Castle DynamicProxy interceptor: *public static class Logger* * {* * private static readonly Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator proxyGenerator;* * static Logger()* * {* * proxyGenerator = new Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerator();* * Castle.DynamicProxy.Generators.AttributesToAvoidReplicating.Add(typeof(ServiceContractAttribute));* * }* * public static TInterface AddControllerLoggingFunctionality<TInterface>(this TInterface implementation) where TInterface : class* * {* * if (implementation == null)* * {* * throw new ArgumentNullException("implementation");* * }* * if (!typeof(TInterface).IsInterface)* * {* * throw new Exception("Type of 'TInterface' must be interface.");* * }* * Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerationOptions options = new Castle.DynamicProxy.ProxyGenerationOptions();* * var origAttribs = implementation.GetType().GetCustomAttributesData();* * if (origAttribs != null)* * {* * foreach (var origAttrib in origAttribs)* * {* * options.AdditionalAttributes.Add(AttributeUtil.CreateBuilder(origAttrib));* * }* * }* * return (TInterface)proxyGenerator.CreateInterfaceProxyWithTarget<TInterface>(* * implementation,* * options,* * new ControllerLoggingInterceptor(implementation.GetType()));* * }* * private class ControllerLoggingInterceptor : Castle.DynamicProxy.IInterceptor* * {* * private readonly Type typeTarget = null;* * private readonly ILog logger = null;* * public ControllerLoggingInterceptor(Type type)* * {* * this.typeTarget = type;* * this.logger = LogManager.GetLogger(this.typeTarget);* * }* * public ControllerLoggingInterceptor()* * {* * this.logger = LogManager.GetLogger("NullTargetAutoLogger");* * }* * public void Intercept(Castle.DynamicProxy.IInvocation invocation)* * {* * bool success = false;* * string sbTraceMethod = null;* * long ticksBefore = 0;* * long ticksAfter = 0;* * try* * {* * if ((this.logger != null) && this.logger.Logger.IsEnabledFor(log4net.Core.Level.Trace))* * {* * sbTraceMethod = GetControllerActionName(invocation);* * logger.TraceFormat("Entering {0}", sbTraceMethod);* * }* * ticksBefore = DateTime.Now.Ticks;* * invocation.Proceed();* * ticksAfter = DateTime.Now.Ticks;* * success = true;* * }* * catch (Exception)* * {* * ticksAfter = DateTime.Now.Ticks;* * success = false;* * throw;* * }* * finally* * {* * if (this.logger != null* * && this.logger.Logger.IsEnabledFor(log4net.Core.Level.Trace))* * {* * logger.TraceFormat("Leaving {0} with success: {1} elapsed time: {2}ms", sbTraceMethod ?? "[no info]", success, TimeSpan.FromTicks(ticksAfter - ticksBefore).TotalMilliseconds);* * }* * }* * }* * private static string GetControllerActionName(Castle.DynamicProxy.IInvocation invocation)* * {* * ParameterInfo[] methodParams = invocation.Method.GetParameters();* * ParameterInfo activityParameterInfo = methodParams.FirstOrDefault(x =>* * x.ParameterType.Equals(typeof(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext)));* * if (invocation != null && invocation.Arguments != null)* * {* * System.Web.Routing.RequestContext rq = invocation.Arguments[activityParameterInfo.Position] as System.Web.Routing.RequestContext;* * if (rq != null && rq.RouteData != null && rq.RouteData.Values.Count >= 2)* * {* * return String.Format(* * "{0}.{1}()",* * rq.RouteData.Values["controller"],* * rq.RouteData.Values["action"]);* * }* * }* * return "UNKNOWN";* * }* * }* *}* The controller object is like this: What should I change to avoid memory leak and keep functionality as it is?
