Hello,
When writing a python module for unbound my module appeared to be
leaking memory. It uses unbound 1.4.9 and swig 1.3.40. I've isolated the
problem to one line that accesses "qstate.return_msg.rep.rrsets[i].rk.type_str".
As a test I modified the dict.py example file to contain the offending line and
also
added the range 2000 loop to exacerbate the problem, causing a few megabytes of
ram to be consumed every second or so.
Below is the small addition I made to dict.py to illustrate the issue,
elif event == MODULE_EVENT_MODDONE: #the iterator has finished
if qstate.return_msg and qstate.return_msg.rep:
for i in range(0, 2000):
for i in range(0,qstate.return_msg.rep.rrset_count):
s = qstate.return_msg.rep.rrsets[i].rk.type_str
#we don't need modify result
qstate.ext_state[id] = MODULE_FINISHED
return True
I tried setting s to a static string as well as qstate.return_msg.rep and
memory usage remained constant with no leak. This is on a server that is
getting 20-30qps.
Could this be a problem in unbound or swig? Is there something I should do
differently?
Thanks.
