New description:
Here is a small example illustrating the issue.
The memory footprint of the following piece of code grows indefinitely.
{{{
sage: K = GF(1<<55,'t')
sage: a = K.random_element()
sage: while 1:
....: E = EllipticCurve(j=a); P = E.random_point(); 2*P; del E, P;
}}}
E and P get deleted, but when 2*P is computed, the action of integers on
A, the abelian group of rational points of the ellitpic curve, gets cached
in the corecion model.
A key-value pair is left in coercion_model._action_maps dict:
(ZZ,A,*) : IntegerMulAction
Moreover there is at least also references to A in the IntegerMulAction
and one in ZZ._action_hash.
So weak refs should be used in all these places if it does not slow things
too much.
'''To be merged with #11521'''. Apply:
* [attachment:trac715_one_triple_dict.patch]
* [attachment:trac_715-reviewer.patch]
* [attachment:trac_715-rebase_11599.patch]
and '''then''' the tickets from #11521.
