From: piotr dot banasik at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux/os-x PHP version: 5.3CVS-2009-01-28 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: recursive references are not garbage collected
Description: ------------ This appears to be the same issue as the now closed bug #33595 I originally experienced this with php 5.2, after googling around I stumbled upon #33595. It looked like it fixed the issue, so I grabbed first the alpha, and then the snapshot of 5.3, neither of them appear to have the issue fixed. I'm using the op's original test code and memory usage jumps from 329,956 bytes before, to 1,027,088 after the 1mil iterations. (In my actual way more complex code this is causing ~20k per iteration memory jumps so its very non trivial to me). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class A { function __construct () { $this->b = new B($this); } } class B { function __construct ($parent = NULL) { $this->parent = $parent; } } echo number_format(memory_get_usage()) . "\n"; for ($i = 0 ; $i < 1000000 ; $i++) { $a = new A(); } echo number_format(memory_get_usage()) . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- the before and after memory usage should not go up by much Actual result: -------------- 329,956 1,027,088 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47233&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47233&r=mysqlcfg
