Re: POE Memory leaks

[Mike Smith]

Hi Ivan,

It's most likely the leak we found in POE::Component::Client::Keepalive.
The problem arises when the connection limit is reached and requests
start getting queued until a connection from the pool becomes available.
The problem is the request context items are never removed from the
queue when requests are satisfied in this way.

Attached is a patch that fixed the problem for us. I plan to work up a
simple case to reproduce the leak and send it to Rocco when I have the time.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks, Mike, it helps!
How did you do that? I mean what kind of debugging technique can help me to
debug such a problems? I've made a little effort to find a leak by myself,
but I've failed.

Thank you.

Glad it helped. I used Devel::Leak
,http://search.cpan.org/author/NI-S/Devel-Leak-0.03/Leak.pm, to narrow
it down and then just read through the code to see that items were
getting removed from the various queues when they were used.
