Subject: leak in make-network-process
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 10:02:08 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812221802.mBMI28aU001131@mothra.ics.uci.edu> (raw)


Do 

emacs -Q --daemon
(to make sure there's a  server running)

then 

emacs -Q -l test.el 


cat test.el

(defun gc-output (arg)
  (interactive "M")
  (with-current-buffer "*scratch*"
    (insert (format "%s %S\n" arg
		    (garbage-collect)))))

(defun server-running-p (&optional name)
  "Test whether server NAME is running.

Return values:
  nil              the server is definitely not running.
  t                the server seems to be running.
  something else   we cannot determine whether it's running without using
                   commands which may have to wait for a long time."
  (interactive
   (list (if current-prefix-arg
	     (read-string "Server name: " nil nil server-name))))
  (unless name (setq name server-name))
  (condition-case nil
      (if server-use-tcp
	  (with-temp-buffer
	    (insert-file-contents-literally (expand-file-name name server-auth-dir))
	    (or (and (looking-at "127\.0\.0\.1:[0-9]+ \\([0-9]+\\)")
		     (assq 'comm
			   (system-process-attributes
			    (string-to-number (match-string 1))))
		     t)
		:other))
	(gc-output "B make-net")
	(delete-process
	 (make-network-process
	  :name "server-client-test" :family 'local :server nil :noquery t
	  :service (expand-file-name name server-socket-dir)))
	(gc-output "A make-net")
	t)
    (file-error nil)))


Now do
M-x server-start RET

it won't start a server, but in the it will print in the *scratch*
buffer the GC results before and after the `(delete-process (make-network-process ' call.
There's a leak of 22 conses.

Adding this at the end of process.c:remove_process:

  {
    struct Lisp_Process *p = XPROCESS (proc);
    /* Set all Lisp_Object members of struct Lisp_Process to nil.  */
    p->tty_name = Qnil;
    p->name = Qnil;
    p->command = Qnil;
    p->filter = Qnil;
    p->sentinel = Qnil;
    p->log = Qnil;
    p->buffer = Qnil;
    p->childp = Qnil;
    p->plist = Qnil;
    p->type = Qnil;
    p->mark = Qnil;
    p->status = Qnil;
    p->decode_coding_system = Qnil;
    p->decoding_buf = Qnil;
    p->encode_coding_system = Qnil;
    p->encoding_buf = Qnil;
  }

reduces the leak to 4 conses.  Not sure if doing that is TRTD...

Opinions?
