Yes, thanks. I think now I get it. The code in cleanUp mistakenly thinks that Level1Entry.get is backed by a map (where there can be at most one entry for a given key) while in fact it is backed by a list (acting like a multi-map, allowing multiple entries for a given key).

I will see how best to fix that tomorrow. If you like, you can file an issue (otherwise, I will file one myself).

This is a bad list. I print out

The first one is a unreachable object's weak reference, which causes the

Thanks Stephan,

I already print out the list's contents, the elements's oid and type are
the same,
 but the objects are unreachable.

Same oid because those weak references belong to same L1 entry, no problem
here.

Let's consider  a Level1Entry contains two Level2Entry: l2_1, l2_2.
if l2_1, l2_2 have same type, l1.get(l2.getType())  will return l2_1
because l1.get will return the first element match the type.


            // must only be called while synchronized on map:
            public Level2Entry get(Type type) {
                for (Iterator i = list.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
                    Level2Entry l2 = (Level2Entry) i.next();
                   * if (l2.getType().equals(type)) {*
                        return l2;
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }

but if when cleanUp was called, the unreachable object is l2_2, the
condition
 (l1.get(l2.getType()) == l2) in cleanUp function will not be met.

I think this is the problem we have, you can see the list will keep growing
after this.

Hi all,

We got a problem like this, one of the L2 entry list keep growing consume
too much memory.

module jurt

package com.sun.star.lib.uno.
environments.java;

the cleanUp member function of class Registry.

       // must only be called while synchronized on map:
       private void cleanUp() {
           for (;;) {
               Level2Entry l2 = (Level2Entry) queue.poll();
               if (l2 == null) {
                   break;
               }
               // It is possible that a Level2Entry e1 for the OID/type
pair
               // (o,t) becomes weakly reachable, then another
Level2Entry
e2
               // is registered for the same pair (o,t) (a new
Level2Entry
is
               // created since now e1.get() == null), and only then e1
is
               // enqueued.  To not erroneously remove the new e2 in that
case,
               // check whether the map still contains e1:
               String oid = l2.getOid();
               Level1Entry l1 = getLevel1Entry(oid);
               if (l1 != null && l1.get(l2.getType()) == l2) {
                   removeLevel2Entry(oid, l1, l2);
               }
           }
       }

All those weak reference Level2Entry entries are invalid, the condition
(l1.get(l2.getType()) == l2) keeps cleanUp function from removing them
from
the list.

I think if this
               // It is possible that a Level2Entry e1 for the OID/type
pair
               // (o,t) becomes weakly reachable, then another
Level2Entry
e2
               // is registered for the same pair (o,t) (a new
Level2Entry
is
               // created since now e1.get() == null), and only then e1
is
               // enqueued.
happened once then there is no way the condition (l1.get(l2.getType()) ==
l2) can be true again, because get(l2.getType()) always return the first
element in the list, but queue.poll() return the newly released weak
reference which can not be the first one in the list.

I fail to see a flaw in the current algorithm.  In the simplest case,
consider a Level1Entry L that has just one Level2Entry E (for some object O,
OID D, type T) in its list.  Suppose o1 has become unreachable and cleanUp
is called: l2 will be bound to E; oid will be bound to D; l1 will be bound
to L; l2.getType() returns T; l1.get(l2.getType()) returns E, so
removeLevel2Entry will be called and will indeed remove E from L's list (and
will actually also remove L from the map of Level1Entries).


 If weak reference list cleanup mechanism is correct, could please give
some
possible reasons could cause the growing problem of L2 entry list.

You mean, you observe a specific instance of Level1Entry whose list of
Level2Entries keeps growing without bound?  That sounds strange.  First, all
entries in the list should be for different UNO types supported by the
respective UNO object, so that should bound the length of the list (no UNO
object probably supports more than a few dozen different UNO types).
 Second, the only way to have more entries in the list would be to have
entries referencing different reachable Java objects which would
nevertheless all have the same UNO OID.  That would sound like a bug
somewhere.

Maybe you can add debug code to print, for each Level2Entry E in the list
of the given problematic Level1Entry, the following:
- E.toString()
- E.getOid()
- E.getType()
- E.get()
to get an idea what that growing list looks like.
