It's a dictionary sharing keys, but it seems like the dict table memory is not released whne the bug occurs. Sadly, I'm only able to reproduce the bug on a 32-bit build. Since the bug depends on exact hash values, maybe the bug exists in 64-bit builds, but is less likely? I'm not 100% sure if the bug is related to dict or set. The bug comes from bpo-31217. ---------- messages: 301058 nosy: haypo, inada.naoki, rhettinger, xiang.zhang priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Memory leak in dict with shared keys type: resource usage versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31317> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
