Hi, Slide,

As written in the 3rd comment, the heapdump was generated using ClrProfiler:
https://clrprofiler.codeplex.com/releases/view/97738

I was using an older version, it seems (before .NET 4.5 came out).

I had various mileage using different memory profilers while trying to debug 
this problem. Some profilers did not show any useful information (just 
displaying "root" holding references to some Ironpython stuff), others did 
crash (including ClrProfiler).

Somehow, I tracked it to some pinned objects, but got stuck then, due to 
lacking knowledge of IronPython and DLR internas.

We even tried to find commercial support / contractors back then to solve this 
problem, to no avail. 
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/ironpython-users/2012-October/016273.html 
and some private emails to companies like Xamarin.)

Eventually, we had internal workarounds for most of the problems caused by 
this, and the problem was scheduled low priority.

So thanks a lot for your efforts, and good luck! Should you solve the problems, 
I'll invite you for a pizza and beer should we ever meet in real. ☺

Best regards

Markus Schaber

Betreff: [Ironpython-users] WI 31764 - Memory Leak

Markus, hopefully this reaches you.

In regards to https://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31764, I was wondering 
how you got the heap dump like you posted. I'm looking into this issue because 
I'm having some memory leak type issues as well and would like to try and fix 
this.

Thanks,

slide
