Memory leaks in the app

While doing memory leak profiling in an application, I came across leaks due to certain custom methods like readHeaderBytes or httpProtocolStart from CFNetwork, GSEventRunModal from GraphicsServices etc. What should I do to correct these memory leaks???

Find the objects that you are allocating that aren't being freed and call release on them. Check out this link:

Is there any memory leaks in the version 4.6.21?

Hi All:
My en so weak ,so I try my best to let you understand my mean...
I add replication to my app rencently.
It's seem any memory leaks in the version 4.6.21.
Threr is an env in my app's database. and there are 2000 dbs in the env. The 2000 dbs distributing In 200 directory . And the 200 directory is the subdirectory under the DATADIR.
In the app, client and master create all subdirectory befoer the env been opened . And In my test ,if the master app use relative path to create Db and r/w data, the data will be correct send to client, The data in the master and client will keep identical.
But, There is many memory leaks in the app.In my test ,the app will use up all memory that lead malloc failed and crash.
the app use DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE,DB_LOG_INMEMORY,DB_REPMGR_ACKS_NONE.
cache_size = 500M.
void event_callback(DbEnv* dbenv, u_int32_t which, void *info)
     bool * isMaster = (bool *)dbenv->get_app_private();
     info = NULL;                    /* Currently unused. */
     switch (which) {
     case DB_EVENT_REP_MASTER:
          *isMaster = 1;
          dbenv->errx("switch to master mode");
          break;
     case DB_EVENT_REP_CLIENT:
          *isMaster = 0;
          dbenv->errx("switch to slaver mode");
          break;
     case DB_EVENT_REP_STARTUPDONE: /* FALLTHROUGH */
     case DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER:
     case DB_EVENT_REP_PERM_FAILED:
          // I don't care about this one, for now.
          break;
     default:
          dbenv->errx("ignoring event %d", which);

I setup logdir,datadir and envdir into different directories with
the functions set_data_dir and set_log_dir.I created two directories
under the datadir and created more than 100 sub-directories
respectively for the two dir, where the 2000 databases located.By the way, even though it doesn't seem likely to be the cause of the
memory leak, you should still fix this illegal usage of subdirectories
before we get much further investigating. We might as well eliminate
any possible source of problem, no matter how unlikely it seems.
Also, just as an experiment, I would be very tempted to try running
again without using any separate directories. In other words, don't
call set_data_dir or set_log_dir at all, and just let everything be
put into the one single directory. If that changes the results, that
will be a big clue to help us know where to look for the problem.
I'am writting a demo , but it take time.
i will reply later .Thank you. Take your time -- we'll be here.

Memory Leak with the new PatchMix App Beta?

E6300/ASUS P5B-D/2GB RAM/EMU 0404/Vista Ultimate 32bit
The problem happens after I upgrade to the PatchMix driver set dated 9/11.
The physical memory usage bumps from ~24M to 150M after running 24 hours, and I didnt load any FX.
The commit size(real memory usage) is over 500M!
This doesnt happen with the old beta driver.
Anyone has the same problem?

Yes? How exactly would Vista cause a memory leak within PatchMix DSP's GUI?
Well, just a thought. The OS is ultimately responsible for all memory management, and also the low-level graphics functions that would be called by e.g. the GUI code. I just noticed that people on XP didn't seem to be having the same problems with this beta.

Memory Leak in Preview.app when switching Display Profiles

I found a weird memory leak in Max OS X Preview.app, which manifests itself when Display profiles (color calbration) is change. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce my experience.
1. Open up "System Preferences" -> "Displays", switch to the "Color" tab. You'll need at least 2 available profiles in the list. (If you only have 1, you can create another using "Calibrate..." button to launch Display Calibration Assistant.
2. Open an image file in Preview.app. The larger, the better. Zoom in full size to maximize the effect of the bug. I repro'ed easily with this image: http://www.donporter.net/NewSchool/Color/Examples/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
3. Open up "Activity Monitor.app", and click on Preview to highlight it, so you can watch its memory usage.
4. Switch back to "Diplays" Preference Pane. Using the arrow keys, toggle up and down between two different Display profiles.
4a. At the same time, watch Preview's "Real Mem" in Activity Monitor, as well as the total "Active" memory.
5. Each time you switch profiles, Preview consumes more Active/Real memory, about 25MB per switch in my case. This continues until all physical memory is consumed, and then (I presume) starts swapping virtual memory to disk.
6. Bring Preview to foreground, and all the profile-induced memory usage is freed.
Weird, wild stuff.

Could it be possible that this is just the OS holding the memory for the app until another process requires it? Do you find that the memory increase eventually causes the app to become unstable?
It might be best to open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com. When adding the bug, please include any source code, project or installer that will help us reproduce the issue internally.

Fixing Memory Leaks in AIR App?

Hi Friends,
I'm been facing this memory leaks issue in our app and this has taken enough of our time and resources and we are not being able to find a solution for it.
I have identified the problem in the module where we primarily need memory related fixes which is - We are setting Repeater's recycleChildren() property to true/false based upon certain conditions which we cant change. Now when this property is set to false Repeater is supposed to be removing its last created objects from memory and creating fresh ones. In our case repeater is unable to delete those. When I managed to get their instances (using createdChildren()) and freed them in code I called System.gc() for releasing the memory back to OS. Now what is happening is that this approach works fine when I run the app from code but when I create its installer (from Installsheild) and formally out in on machines it does not work. I came to know the reason from following blogs:

Guys, can anyone of you suggest what should I do here? This has become a delivery bottleneck and we need to give a fix where the memroy is released periodically and efficiently so that the end user's system does not hang.
Please help.

Are you sure it doesn't ? Maybe flash does release memory but the OS leaves it assigned as described in the below comment from http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/06/what-are-your-biggest-issues-with-adobe-air/co mment-page-3/#comment-26330
"I just finished doing more experiments, I looks like the AIR app does free the memory, but the OS leaves it assignned to the app process, until other apps requiere that memory. So, looks like it is a natural behaviour and the memory leak is not as terrible as I thougth."

Can I locate "memory leaks" to keep apps from crashing?

Hello clever people,
Since the iPhone 4s is still on the market, I assume that my 2 year old 4s should be able to work fine. However, I am constantly plagued by apps crashing and, most frustratingly, apps often fail to remain running in the background, even with one or no other apps running.
I had a similar issue with my iPad2, just before it ran out of applecare, and the chap had me run through with sending anaylitcs to him, and his conclusion was that a few apps were causing 'memory leaks' - had me reset the iPad and reinstall everything. So I also did this on the iPhone, which did help, but it has not solved the issue. I have also removed most apps from the device, in a bid to locate the offending app.
Searching on Google for "memory leak" only brings up info for developers, and nothing for someone who is actually using their phone and having issues. My usual scenario is going for a bike ride and running Strava, which then cuts out when I stop to take a picture - with no other apps running.
Does anyone know how to solve the issue - return the phone to its 'as new' state, or locate the problem and remove it?
Cheers,
Tobias

There are differenty types of, "resets" ..
Have you tried the folloiwng ??
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Memory leak on the native side

Hello,
I am hoping someone here can offer some troubleshooting advice, as I am completely stumped. I am running JBoss 5.1 with JDK 1.6_u18 (same problem with u17 and u16 too)
- 32-bit, Linux (RHEL 5).
- min/max heap setting of 1024M
- permgen max of 256M
- Thread stack size of 128K
- No JNI
My problem: The memory footprint of the JVM slowly grows until it hits the 3G OS limit. This takes about 8 hours under moderate load. At this time, it of course dies as it has no more addressable memory left.
Here is the strange part: I have used every possible memory debugging tool (jmap, Eclipse MAT, etc) and nothing looks out of the ordinary in my Java heap. Thread count stays at a reasonable 350 threads, Java heap size stabilizes at about 500M. For the first hour or so, the JVM footprint stays at about 1.7G, which makes sense. After that it starts to slowly grow until in exceeds the 3G limit.
What can I do to figure out where the leak is occurring? There is clearly some native resource that is being allocated but not freed. As I indicated, all the Java analysis tools report a healthy, stable heap and thread count.
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Thanks for the reply.
I have confirmed with -verbose:jni that the only JNI libraries getting loaded are those belonging to the JDK. My application does make heavy use of the ProcessClassLoader from the Jboss JBPM library, but classes all seem to be unloading normally, and my Permgen usage stays very low and stable. Is there anything I should look at in regards to this class loader? I have tried both a lack of GC parameters and specified the concurrent mark sweep collector, with the same results.

Memory leak in the JVM leading to system oom

Hi,
We are running application server using java 1.5, tomcat 5.5 ...
The problem is that the JVM is allocating memory continuously.
If we look at the JVM memory from JConsole everything is OK the amount of memory allocated in the heap does not grow significantly.
If we look at the JVM memory consumption from the system perspective, the memory usage is growing until the system runs out of memory and kill the JVM. The JVM memory usage goes beyong 1.5 Go of memory whatever options you use when launching the JVM.
The memory allocation is so intense that it can lead to a crash in few hours with very few users connected to the application.
We have tried JDK 1.5.05 and 1.5.06 still the same.
We are running on a Linux Debian system wth a 2.6.8 kernel.
Any idea of where all this memory goes ?
Any idea on how to track and solve this memory leak ?

Hi Martinux,
Tiger and Mustang come with a number of diagnosing tools that could help
you spot memory problems. In particular there's something called 'jmap' which can
take a snapshot of the JVM memory.
Danny Coward has recently written a nice blog to emphasize the existence
of this new tools - see
"Crash Course: Java SE Monitoring, Management and Troubleshooting"
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/dannycoward?entry=crash_course_java_se_monitoring
Of course if the problem isn't in the JVM...
BTW: you did also look at the non-heap memory, right? and also at the total
number of loaded classes?
hope this helps,

Image Memory Leaks in AIR app

We are implementing an AIR application that loads thumbnails
from the hard drive and uploads them to a remote server.
When bringing in large images, for example, when importing
five 2MB files into Image objects:
Flex reports that it is using 55MB
Windows reports using 220 Meg (viewing memory usage of
adl.exe in task manager)
After deletion of these image objects, the memory stays
allocated!! It is released when the application is closed.
Two issues I see:
1. Huge memory usage for image objects (I understand that JPG
files are exploded into BMPs). It limits our ability to load 10's
or 100's of images.
2. Bad Memory leak
OTHER THINGS WE TRIED:
1. Displaying images as inline html IMG tags.. Same memory
usage!
2. Taking a snapshot of the image and displaying that.
Problem, used way to much CPU
I hope these issues will be fixed before release time or we
are hosed.
PLATFORM: Windows XP Professional, service pack 2

Hi
Have you tried the FB3 profiler to investigate why memory is
not getting deallocated?
You can use the loitering objects panel to track the back
references for the objects in memory. If you find that image object
is not being referenced by anything else. Can you file a bug at
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex
with a small test case.
Also as you know that jpg will be translated into bitmap. The
amount of memory required will be determined by the pixels in the
image. Each pixel will be 4K

Possible of memory leak in the loop

Recently my application do get OutOfMemory issue. I realized the memory is keep on stack up as i saw in the task manager, the jlaunch keep growing and it won't drop back. That day i'm running a search function and it will query the table to retrieve the data. The jlaunch shoot from 500MB -> 2.2GB and now remain in there. Wondering is it during it query it populate at least 10,000 records into the arraylist and then the memory already allocated and once i finish run the function, it will clear the allocated memory to re-use it.
public ArrayList ejbHomeInJDBCConnection(Map map){
     ArrayList beanList = new ArrayList();
     try{
          Context ctx = new InitialContext();
          DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/POOL");
          Connection con = ds.getConnection();
          String query = "SELECT * FROM USER WHERE ";
          for (Iterator iterator = map.keySet().iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
               Object key = iterator.next();
               if(key.toString().startsWith("TIME") | key.toString().startsWith("TIMEIN")){
                    long longValue = Long.parseLong(map.get(key).toString());
                    query += key.toString()+ longValue + " AND ";
               }else{
                    String value = (String)map.get(key);
                    query += key.toString()+ value + " AND ";
          String newquery = query.substring(0, query.length()-5);
          newquery += " ORDER BY TIMEIN DESC";
          Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
          try {
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(newquery);
              try {
                    while (rs.next()){
                         InBean bean = new InBean();
                         bean.setSmsId(rs.getString("EMP"));
                         beanList.add(bean);
               }finally{
                    rs.close();
          }finally{
               stmt.close();
     }catch(Exception e){
          System.err.println(e.fillInStackTrace());
return beanList;
Wondering is it the InBean will cause any memory leak as if there is 10,000 records, which mean it will create 10,000 objects and once it add into the arraylist the previous bean is not in use, will the GC clear it as i didn't set it as null. Do i need to do something like reallocate/defragment the memory?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm sure a "count" would not generate the overhead you are concerned.
To understand some aspects, you need to read the source files of Java, and understand how the stack would work in your case.
Evertime you "add" an element to you list, the implementation will run the ensureCapacity, and grown the list one by one. Understand that the list is an Array with a lot more functions, but below, you are still working with an Array, and it needs to have a defined size. Everytime you add, it's doing a System.arraycopy(all the crap) - So you can save this, everytime you add something if you create your List with the right size.
Note, this is not an issue if we consider small lists, of small objects, but working with large lists, you can feel slow downs.
About the GC stuff, well.. I'm sure you can do some reading how it works. One good start point would be
Link: [http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/]
I'm sure you don't need that, but still, it's good reading. Maybe you should just increase your heap size, or you can manually clear the List using list.clear();

Plugin-container.exe takes over and uses 100% of my CPU locking me out and leaving my PC non-functioning. Is this a bug, or a memory leak, in the Firefox software? Can anything be done to fix this problem?

In looking at Windows Task Manager I found that plugin-container.exe was taking over 100% of my CPU and my system was frozen. Is this a memory leak or other bug?

Thank you! I have been having problems with Adobe Flash since downloading the new 11.1 version. I will download it again and reinstall it, hopefully that will correct the problem.

Memory leak running 32bit app in Windows 7 64bit

I have an app that does not show signs of memory leakage (I'm queuing up 10mb arrays, and dequeuing them to file) under a standard 32bit operating system. I've since tried running it in Windows 7 64 bit (as a 32 bit process using Labview 32-bit runtime engine) and noticed memory is incrementing.
Program takes 300Mb of memory. If I save 100Mb of data to a file, will windows 7 64bit show this as 400Mb of memory (under windows on windows 32 bit)? I don't think it would, but you never know...
Are there any bugs in Labview 2010 with regards to queuing and windows 64 bit? I'm tracking my Queue usage and it isn't increasing, thus no real reason for it to increase in memory allocation.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So this is something you observed.....by chance?
Why is the memory "growth" a concern for you?
As 32bit can allocate up to 2(3) GB of RAM per application process, memory is very limited, hence any application has to work very restrictive with memory.
64-bit can allocate several TB of RAM (possibly reduced limited provided by the OS, but still more likely in the TB range rather than GB), an application doesn't need to be conservative.
So it is possible that the OS Task Manager shows increased memory consuption, but as long as performance is not affected, it doesn't hurt anyone.

EDIT: This might be also be induced by the funcions you are using to handle the data, in your case the file IO functions. Which functions are you using?

What needs to be released to avoid memory leaks in the jvm?

I've got a C application server that makes Java calls to process requests.
Eventually, the JVM runs out of memory, I assume because my C code is leaking references.
My question is... what references should I be freeing? I am freeing local/global object references, but it still leaks memory.
Should I also be freeing classIds? Method ids? Is DeleteLocalRef() the way to do that?
Thanks,
Jeff

The simple answer is that you are responsible for deallocating every single reference (basically anything that isn't either a fieldID or a methodID) that is returned from a JNI call. The return value from each JNI call is a newly allocated local reference that you must delete with a call to DeleteLocalRef. For example, you must delete the jclass returned by FindClass() or the jthrowable returned by ExceptionOccurred(). In addition to that, you must also ensure that you delete any global references that you explicitly allocate yourself.
Notice that the rules change, when you are executing from within the context of a native method invoked from the JVM. In that case, the JVM will automatically clean up any local references that are left over once the native method returns. Even then, though, it's smart to be careful with local references, because you can easily exceed the maximum number of local refs, or hold on to excessive amounts of objects, or hold onto objects for excessive amounts of time, because none of the local refs are deallocated by the VM until the native method actually returns.
Local reference management is a real pain in the butt in JNI. For example, it took me quite some time to get it right in Jace.

I feel your pain!
Mac Pro with 32 GB, and Mail takes about 5 minutes to "start" - well, show the Mail Menu. Then, another few minutes to actually draw the window... but wait, it STILL needs more time to actually show the accounts and mail.
The (stupid) new Activity Monitor show Mail using 12 GB of RAM, and several com plist files also sucking up CPU time and RAM. Why Apple has to dumb-down good information to "Memory Pressure" is beyond me!
I have reported thsi to Apple, and they had a Support person get in touch with me. I have sent several spindumps and tarball files last week, but no reply. Today, I pinged the support person who said Apple Engineering was reviewing the information, and would likely get back sometime as *maybe* some others were experiencing this problem...
