Subject: Event.channel memory leak?
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 17:04:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D1E9A95E-117C-461D-89DF-738CA8C70D14@itpl.co.jp> (raw)

Hello,

I have found a strange memory behavior with Event module. Following code 
works well.

----
open Event

let ct () =
  let c = new_channel () in
  ignore (Thread.create (fun () -> sync (send c 1)) ());
  let i = sync (receive c) in
  ()
 
let _ = 
  let rec loop () =
    ct ();
    Thread.delay 0.01;
    Gc.full_major ();
    loop ()
  in
  loop ()
----

But, the next code makes increasing of memory use rapidly in my environment.
(version 3.11.2 on MacOS X leopard)

----
open Event

let ct c =
  ignore (Thread.create (fun () -> sync (send c 1)) ());
  let i = sync (receive c) in
  ()
 
let _ = 
  let c = new_channel () in
  let rec loop () =
    ct c;
    flush stdout;
    Thread.delay 0.01;
    Gc.full_major ();
    loop ()
  in
  loop ()
----

I have read inside of Event module source code, but could not detect what data 
remains in the memory.

Is this behavior not strange? And How can I avoid the memory behavior?
