Hi:
I've spent some time performing memory leak analysis while using Python
in an embedded configuration.
The pattern is:
Py_Initialize();
... run empty python source file ...
Py_Finalize();
I've identified several suspect areas including dictionary maitenace in
import.c:~ 414
/* Clear the modules dict. */
PyDict_Clear(modules);
/* Restore the original builtins dict, to ensure that any
user data gets cleared. */
dict = PyDict_Copy(interp->builtins);
if (dict == NULL)
PyErr_Clear();
PyDict_Clear(interp->builtins);
if (PyDict_Update(interp->builtins, interp->builtins_copy))
PyErr_Clear();
Py_XDECREF(dict);
/* Clear module dict copies stored in the interpreter state */
Is there someone in the group that would like to discuss this topic.
There seems to be other leaks as well. I'm new to Python-dev, but
willing to help or work with someone who is more familiar with these
areas than I.
Thanks,
Matt
