Hi Victor:
No, I'm using the new heap analysis functions in DS2015. We think we
have found one issue. In the following sequence, dict has no side
effects, yet it is used -- unless someone can shed light on why dict is
used in this case:
/* 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);
And removing dict from this sequence seems to have fixed one of the
issues, yielding 14k per iteration.
Simple program: Good idea. We will try that -- right now it's embedded
in a more complex environment, but we have tried to strip it down to a
very simple sequence.
The next item on our list is memory that is not getting freed after
running simple string. It's in the parsertok sequence -- it seems that
the syntax tree is not getting cleared -- but this opinion is preliminary.
Best,
Matt

I've spent some time performing memory leak analysis while using Python in an
embedded configuration.
Hum, did you try tracemalloc?
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/tracemalloc.html
https://pytracemalloc.readthedocs.org/
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.
Are you able to reproduce the leak with a simple program?
Victor
