[xdebug-general] Re: xdebug 2.0.4 memory leak?

Personally, I am running 2.1.0-dev and am not experiencing any memory
problems.

What do you mean by “memory gets exhausted”? All available memory in your
system gets used by that one snippet when tracing? Does the same thing
happen when you are not tracing and simply running the script as normal?

Subject: [xdebug-general] xdebug 2.0.4 memory leak?

Hello,

I am using a pristine Ubuntu 8.0.4 with Apache/2.2.8 pre-fork module
with PHP 5.2.4-ubuntu5.5 with xdebug 2.0.4.

I have realized that after a function is called many times, it seems
that memory gets exhausted. I tried it without xdebug installed and
did not encounter any memory problems.

I have checked the mailing list whether this issue was reported
before, only saw a report about profiler memory leak in version 1.3.2
(which was resolved not to be fixed, stating that xdebug2 does not
have any of these issues).

Here is a simple code that creates the issue:

<?php
$a = 'foo';
function bar($a)
{
    $b = $a;
}
for ($i = 0; $i < 250000; $i++) {
    bar($a);
}
?>

I am not using nor profiler, neither debugger. Just tracing
functionality. I don't think I am using a weird option that is set so
that it will create a memory leak, but I believe the more eyes looking
at a configuration, the better. Here are the relevant xdebug.ini
options:

; General
xdebug.auto_trace=on
xdebug.collect_includes=0
xdebug.collect_params=4
xdebug.collect_return=on
xdebug.default_enable=on
xdebug.extended_info=1
xdebug.manual_url=http://www.php.net
xdebug.show_local_vars=on
xdebug.show_mem_delta=1
xdebug.max_nesting_level=100

xdebug.dump_globals=on
xdebug.dump.GET=*
xdebug.dump.POST=*
xdebug.dump.SERVER=*
xdebug.dump.COOKIE=*
xdebug.dump.REQUEST=*
xdebug.dump.SESSION=*
xdebug.dump.FILES=*
xdebug.dump_undefined=off
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=50
xdebug.var_display_max_children=500
xdebug.collect_vars=on

Thank you.
Best,

ekin
