New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: POINTER() saves its result in internal cache. test_pointer_type_name and test_pointer_type_str_name use large names and resulting types consume much memory. This can be one of the causes of tests failure on the AIX buildbot with very limited memory.
If run tests repeatedly, the cache grows and can consume all memory even on the machine with enough memory. Proposed patch fixes leaks. ---------- components: Tests, ctypes messages: 254295 nosy: serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Fixed memory leaks in test_ctypes type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25582> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
