And that's not the only leak. You create a new valueOf method for each WeakDictionary a given object is used to key. These methods are threaded off of the key object starting with the most recently created one and each valueOf indirectly captures the value associated with that object key in the corresponding WeakDictionary. If there are no reference to a WeakDictionary it will get garbage collected. However, the corresponding valueOf method for each object that was used as a key for that WeakDictionary will stay behind. So will the value that was associated with that key in the dictionary. This isn't a bad solution if you know need a weak keyed map where you know that each object is only going to key a single such map _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
