Isaac Dooley created GROOVY-7646: ------------------------------------ Summary: Classes generated by Eval() never collected from Permgen/Metaspace Key: GROOVY-7646 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7646 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Components: groovy-runtime Affects Versions: 2.4.5 Environment: Oracle jdk8u51 and jdk8u66 Reporter: Isaac Dooley
It seems classes generated by Eval() are never collected, thus causing PermGen or Metaspace to fill up and the JVM to hang/crash. Reproduce by running the following code, after setting java option {{-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=50m}}. {code} 100000.times{ x -> assert 10 == Eval.x(2, 'x * 4 + 2;') } {code} After about 2700 calls to Eval the program will crash with OutOfMemoryError, -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
