Memory leak in JS_NewRuntime with multiple threads

[sandhy...@gmail.com]

I am creating a C++ program that embeds Spidermonkey JS library. The program is running fine but it it is leaking memory in JS_NewRuntime call with more than one thread. It is leaking 32 bytes per thread.

Spidermonkey JS version : 45
NSPR version: 4.15


Sample program attached(sample.cpp):

// following code might be needed in some case
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#include <stdint.h>
#include "nspr/prthread.h"
#include "nspr/prinit.h"

#include "jsapi.h"
#include "js/Initialization.h"

/* The class of the global object. */
static JSClass global_class = {
"global",
JSCLASS_GLOBAL_FLAGS,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
nullptr,
JS_GlobalObjectTraceHook
};

static void CreateThreads(void *);

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
JS_Init();

PRThread* Thread[5];

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
Thread[i] = PR_CreateThread(PR_USER_THREAD, &CreateThreads, NULL,PR_PRIORITY_NORMAL, PR_GLOBAL_THREAD, PR_JOINABLE_THREAD, 0);

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
PR_JoinThread(Thread[i]);

JS_ShutDown();

return 0;
}

void CreateThreads(void *arg)
{
JSRuntime *rt = JS_NewRuntime(8L * 1024 * 1024);
if (!rt)
return ;

JS_DestroyRuntime(rt);
}

Command to compile: g++ --std=c++11 -DDEBUG -o a.out sample.cpp -I./include -Llib -lmozjs-45 -lpthread -lnspr4

Command to execute: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib/ valgrind --leak-check=full --log-file=./leak.log ./a.out

Hi,
did you find fix for this problem . i am having similar type of issue . in which one scenario leads to memory leak.
my question is here .
