Memory leak with my JAI code.
Hi guys,
I have this method below which is creating a memory leak, can anyone please point out possible reasons why there is a problem here:
private PlanarImage getPlanarImageFromIItem(IItem iitem)throws Exception
InputStream stream = iitem.getBinaryContent().getContentStream();
SeekableStream seekableItemStream = SeekableStream.wrapInputStream(stream,false); // read backwards
PlanarImage planarImage = JAI.create("Stream", seekableItemStream);
Raster raster = planarImage.getData(); // This forces a read
seekableItemStream.close();
stream.close();
return planarImage;
}Here, IItem is a custom class which represents a wallpaper picked up from a CMS. This method converts that to a planarimage and returns it, without a call to this method, the memory leak goes away...so its definite that the leak is here.
Also, can anyone suggest ways of possibly rewriting this method in a better way?
Thanks!

Memory leaks with Third party classes
Hello all,
This is fairly known problem. But I guess, my problem gives a new dimention to the problem.
I have an application which is developed by me. This application ideally needed to use third party classes ( obviously no source code is supplied ). These third party classes provide extra functionality required.
The problem is, when I don't use third party classes in my application, every thing is fine. When I include third party classes, I am having memory leaks.
Then I tried to investigate memory leaks with Optimizeit tool. It is new to me. As of now, I understood, we can identify where the memory leaks are occuring.
finally the problem is, in order to solve this, I need some patches in the code. But I don't have source code for those classes. How to solve this problem?
For example,
I use a third party classes in my code like this,
ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass obj = new ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass();
This 'obj' is made static, as it takes lot of time to create this object. Obviously this object contains several references to other objects, which I can't control.
In the process of reusing this object, I am getting memory leaks.
Any ideas regarding, how one has to deal this type of situations? What are the issues involved with this case? Are there any similar problems, which have been solved? are most welcome.
many thanks for your time.
MadhavDecompile it using jad. Find leak.Yes, I too got the idea and tried to decompile those classes and recompile. I had some problems while recompiling. Is this is the only way to get rid of this problem?
I was refering to powersoft.datawindow.DataStore class. Does any body here has worked on these?
Can you suggest me how to find the memory leak causes? if you were needed to find out memory leak causes, what would be your approach?

Memory leak with CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex
After creating a thumbnail with CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex, CGImageRelease doesn't seem to work!? I am rendering full-size thumbnails of PDF pages, and this just leaks memory:
void memLeakTest(CFStringRef sourcePath) {
printf("Running memLeakTest...
CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, sourcePath, NULL);
CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url, NULL);
CFStringRef keys[3];
CFTypeRef values[3];
int n=0;
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue; //If I set this to false, there is no leak, but I need the thumbnails
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceShouldCache;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanFalse;
CFDictionaryRef options;
options = CFDictionaryCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, (const void **)keys, values, n, &kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks, &kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
CGImageRef image = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(imageSource, 0, options);
CFRelease( imageSource );
CGImageRelease( image ); //Doesn't seem to have any effect. Memory continues to balloon.
CFRelease( url );
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
CFStringRef pathUrl = CFSTR("file:/path/to/a/big.pdf");
while( true ) {
memLeakTest( pathUrl );
if( n < maxPages ) sleep(5); //Wait 5 seconds
return 0;I was able to fix the memory leak using the following code:
void memLeakTest(CFStringRef sourcePath) {
printf("Running memLeakTest...
CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, sourcePath, NULL);
CFStringRef keys[10];
CFTypeRef values[10];
int n=0;
//keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageIfAbsent;
//values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
keys[n] = kCGImageSourceShouldCache;
values[n++] = kCFBooleanFalse;
CFDictionaryRef options;
options = CFDictionaryCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, (const void **)keys, values, n,
&kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks,
&kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
//CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url, options);
NSImage* imageFile = [[NSImage alloc] initByReferencingURL: (NSURL *)url];
NSData * data = [imageFile TIFFRepresentation];
CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((CFDataRef)data, options);
CGImageRef image = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(imageSource, 0, options);
CFRelease( image );
CFRelease( imageSource );
[imageFile release];
CFRelease( options );
CFRelease( url );
There are a number of different graphics APIs you could use. I'm no expert in any of them, so I used the simple ones. The above code requires both Objective-C and an autorelease pool, but I'm sure you could use different functions to remove those requirements. -
It seems there is a memory leak with JPopupMenu. The following program demonstrates this leak. If you run the program, click on show form, and then close the form, the used memory will be GCd appropriately. If you click on show form, then right click on the table to show the popup (even if you dont do anything else with the popup) then close the form, it never GCs the form. I've tried all kinds of crazy things, but I cant seem to find what is keeping the memory from being GCd.

return null;BTW instead of continually printing out the memory use a profiler (jvisualvm in the jdk/bin directory -> heapdump -> search on your class -> view in instances -> find nearest GC root).
Looks like BasicPopupMenuUI doesn't remove a reference to the JRootPane immediately. As far as I can see it will be removed when another menu shows.
As a hackish workaround you can try this in you FrmReferrals#uninit():
for(ChangeListener listener : MenuSelectionManager.defaultManager().getChangeListeners()) {
if (listener.getClass().getName().contains("MenuKeyboardHelper")) {
try {
Field field = listener.getClass().getDeclaredField("menuInputMap");
field.setAccessible(true);
field.set(listener, null);
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignored
break;
}Funnily enough though it isn't there when I reduce your code to a SSCCE:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

Memory leak with 1.6.0_07 in applet using Swing
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_07
Using JRE version 1.6.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Windows XP - SP2
I have a commercial application that has developed a memory leak with the introduction of the latest plugin. The applets chew up memory and eventually freeze. They did not before. Using jvisualm I see a build up of native arrays, primarily int[][] and char[]. I'm still investigating. Anyone have a similar experience?
The Applet uses a swing interface, uses buffered images and swing timers, and regularly performs http connections to the server which result in actions via the SwingUtil.invokeLater() method.I am Using Internet Explorer Browser Version 6.0.Huge security hole.
Its not throwing Error / Exception Wrap a try/catch at the highest level possible.
Catch 'Throwable'. And log/display it somewhere. -

I noticed there is solution for window 8
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885482
Is there any solution for window 8.1?
I really appreciate for any help.Hi,
I'm sorry for didn't hear anything about this issue. I'll try to connect the writer of this KB, hope we can find some suggestion. If there is any progress about this problem, I would come back.

Memory leak with large files and this code?
Okay, so the following code will not complete.
Basically what I am doing is opening 5 files and generating a PDF document from the already opened Report file, which is renewed prior to the PDF export operation. I left out the general stuff at the start. I am also writing out the location of the PDF to a HTML file, which acts as an index of the exported PDF documents.
I believe it is due to some sort of memory leak issue, but it could be something else or just my code. I have not stepped through this code, but for small file sizes of say less than 40 megs per file, it works fine. For file sizes along these lines:
File 1 = 230 megs
File 2,3 = 26 megs
File 4,5 = 8 megs
it will belch erors at the end of about the 5th iteration through the For loop. It will complete the 5th iteration however. Here are the errors generated:

Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I have a program that needs to change the font of at least 250,000 letters, however after doing this the program runs slow and laggy as if changing the fonts of each letter took up memory and never released it? Here is a compilable example, Click the button at the bottom of the window and watch the letter it is currently working on. You will notice that around 200,000 it will begin to not smoothly count up anymore but count in kind of a skipping pattern. This seems to get worse the more you do it and seems to indicate to me that something is using memory and not releasing it. I'm not sure why replacing a letter's font with a new font would cause more memory to be taken up I would think if I was doing it properly it would simply replace the old font with the new one not taking anymore memory then it did before. Here is the example: This program sometimes locks up so be prepared. If someone could maybe point out what is causing this to take up more memory after changing the fonts that would be great and hopefully find a solution :) Thanks in advance.

//THIS CLASS SEEMS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF MEMORY LEAK I'M NOT SURE?
class ChangeFonts implements Runnable {
public void run() {
Random rand = new Random();
for(int i = 0; i<states.size(); i++) {
font = new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,rand.nextInt(50));
states.get(i).font = font; // this line seems to cause the problem?
add.setText("Working on letter - "+i);

You're creating a quarter million distinct Font objects, and obviously you must be hanging on to all of them because each character is having its font set to the newly created object. So if you have 250k chars, you're forcing it to have 250k Font objects.
Since the only difference is that rand.nextInt(50) parameter, just pre-create 50 Font objects with 0..49, stick 'em in the corresponding elements in an array, and use rand.nextInt to select the Font object to use.That does make sense but it does that when the the program is first launched and doesn't lag. But the second and third time you change the letters font it seems to lag so if it wasn't taking up more memory the second time it should perform like it did when it first launched. I don't care to investigate any further. The real problem is almost certainly the quarter million Font objects. It could be that 250k is fine, but by the time you get to 500k, it has to do a lot of GC, and that's where the slow down is coming. You might even be able to make it work better with the code you have just by tweaking the GC parameters at startup, but I wouldn't bother. Fix the code first, and then see if you have issues.
Does creating a new font for each of those letters not replace the old font object? If it didn't use more memory the second and third time I don't think you would see the skipping in the counter and the slowing down of the iterations. So it must be remembering some of the old font objects or am I wrong?Using new always creates a new object. When you do it the second time around, and call letter.setFont(newFont), the old Font object is eligible for GC. That doesn't mean it will be GCed right away though. The JVM can leave them all laying around until it runs out of memory, and then GC some or all of them. -
Hello everyone.
I need some help with a problem we are having with our application. It consists on Servlets, JMS with MDBs, Xml parsing...
Our application dequeues messages from an Oracle Queue and sends xml-text message to a servlet. It also receives xml-text and enqueues objects in an Oracle Queue.
And it also has access to Oracle Database (context tables, etc).
We are doing everything on Tru64 Unix (and our tests on Win 2000) and we are using WebLogic 6.1.
Our problem is that we have found that it seems that the garbage collector is not running well. I mean, with the time our system is degrading. The memory use increases. It seems to be a memory leak.
We have used a testing tool, OptimizeIt, and we have found that there are
objects that are increasing the use of memory. If we use the option 'java -verbose' we find that it seems to be Hash objects (HashMap, Hashtable) which are increasing the use of memory. In our code we are not using any hashtable nor any class that extends from it (we have deleted everyone).
Can it be due to a problem with WebLogic? A problem with JMS, queues, etc? A problem with JNDI?
Could anybody please help us?
Thanks in advanced.Yes, we see that there are some entries of the type:
java/util/Hahstable$Entry
java/util/Hahstable
weblogic/jndi/Environment
This entries keep growing and growing with the time.
We have deleted all the Hashtable, Properties and all the kind of Collection objects. I guess WebLogic is using this objects in order to arrange our application runs.
Am I right? Do you know if we can do anything?
Thank you. -
Memory leak with fieldpoint and labview
I have an application which is showing an issue of a memory leak. The application does several things, but the part that seems to be causing the trouble is related to use of Fieldpoint VIs. The application reads individual AI channels on a Fieldpoint AI-110 (10 channels, where the set of channels is measured once per second) I have attached the code related to this. The memory leak is quite large (~1.5GB in 24 hours of operation).
I am using LabView 7.1, and Fieldpoint 4.1. The parent application which uses the attached code is a stand-alone application. The operating system is Windows 2000. Fieldpoint communication occurs over a RS-232 link.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

FPAI100_meas_voltage.vi 62 KBHi Andy,
I did not see anything fundamentally wrong with what you wrote, but there were
a few things that I think could be used to be changed. However, there
were a few things that I did modify that might make a bit of a
difference. In your application you were using sequences and a bunch of
local variables. Since LabVIEW is based upon data flow, you can control
the sequence of execution by making data dependencies and simply wiring one
thing to the next. By simply using LabVIEW the way it is meant to run I
was able to completely remove the sequence structure and also eliminate the use
of all of the local variables, all while having the exact same execution order.
It could be that the local variables were causing the memory leak that you
noticed, but I really doubt they could be the cause of such a large leak.
I really think there is probably something else going on in the application
because from what I saw from this bit of code there really is no way that it
would have such large problems. Users use the FP commands daily without
any problems, so most likely these are not the root of the problem.
Go ahead and try the modified code and see if you can implement similar local
and global variable reducing techniques throughout your application.
Hopefully that will help reduce some of the memory leaks you are seeing.
Typically the largest cause of an apparent memory leak really occurs from
building an array within a loop, so make sure you don't have any situations
where that occurs in your code either.

Memory Leak with Oracle ODBC Driver for Long Raw columns
Oracle version : 8.1.7
Platform : Win2K
Oracle ODBC Driver version : 8.0.1.7.5.0.0
Hi,
I've got an Oracle database upgraded from
V8.0.5 to V8.1.7 which has a table having one long raw +
normal columns. I was able to observe distinct memory
leaks (approx 80K) when using ODBC interface calls (thro C++ code) that referenced a combination of normal & long raw columns in a select statement. However, this leak was not observed when only normal columns were present in the
select statement. Is there any known restriction for using
long raw columns with other columns? Or do long raw columns have a known memory leak problem thro ODBC?
Thanks!

I posted an example that inserts 130 FP object images in a picture and moves them around (it is a random walk where each object is assigned a letter and the program terminates when all of the letters required to spell out "Hello World" wander into the trap at the bottom.)
A snippet of the code follows.
A) Start with a blank picture
B) Inster all of the images
C) show the updated image.

Hello,
I just found a memory leak in my code caused by the SystemTray, but I don't know if that is me that misused SystemTray (I add a trayIcon, then remove it, then add an another one, and so on). I know how to get around that problem, but I don't know the origin of it (my code, java bug ?). So I made the following code reproducing that leak. If someone can give me idea or advice :-)
class MyThread extends Thread {
ReferenceQueue<?> referenceQueue;
public MyThread(ReferenceQueue<?> referenceQueue) {
this.referenceQueue = referenceQueue;
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Starting ...");
try {
while (true) {
referenceQueue.remove();
System.out.println("We release a TrayIcon");
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(MyThread.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
class MyPopup extends PopupMenu {
static final int MAX = 1000000;
Integer []toto = new Integer[MAX];
public MyPopup() {
for(int i = 0; i < MAX; i++)
toto[i] = i;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PopupMenu popup;
ReferenceQueue referenceQueue = new ReferenceQueue();
Vector<WeakReference>weakReference = new Vector<WeakReference>();
MyThread myThread = new MyThread(referenceQueue);
myThread.start();
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
TrayIcon trayIcon;
File file = new File(<AN IMAGE HERE>);
Image image;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(file);
while(true) {
popup = new PopupMenu();
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "Frame Title", popup);
tray.add(trayIcon);
tray.remove(trayIcon);
weakReference.add(new WeakReference(trayIcon, referenceQueue));
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(MyJFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (AWTException e) {
Logger.getLogger(MyJFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, e);
}------------------------------------------- ADDED -----------------------------------
P.S. :
- the toto array in MyPopup is there in order to obtain quicker a OutOfMemory (OOM)
- you may change your java parameter by fixing the allowed memory size in order to have a OOM quicker (-Xms30m -Xmx30m)
- you must have an image in order to test this code (and set the path where <AN IMAGE HERE> is)
- if you remove the following lines there is no OOM :
tray.add(trayIcon);
tray.remove(trayIcon);
so it seems to me that TrayIcon is the origin of the OOM
- the weak reference is there in order to see when a trayIcon can be garbage collected
Edited by: lemmel on May 5, 2009 7:22 AM - added commentsSo I did the test and:
- you were right about the vector, but this one was added only for debugging purpose (find the OOM cause)
- your code sample get a OOM with my computer as well as mine (with the vector removed obviously); I made some alteration to your code see below
could you try changing your java memory settings (see below) ?
P.S. :
- I first tried with your code as it was, got the OOM, then decided to give some time to the garbage collector (and later to force a call to it) by adding the lines with the tag ADDED
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
static class MyPopup extends PopupMenu {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(16, 16, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
int i = 0; //ADDED
while (true) {
PopupMenu popup = new MyPopup();
TrayIcon newTrayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "Frame Title", popup);
tray.add(newTrayIcon);
tray.remove(newTrayIcon);
if((i%10)==0) { //ADDED
System.gc(); //ADDED
System.runFinalization(); //ADDED
Thread.sleep(100); //ADDED
} //ADDED
i ++; //ADDED
}I removed the array trick in the MyPopup class in order to be able to do at least one loop (see my settings below)
- my environnement :
---- debian testing, kernel 2.6.26-1-686, libc6 2.9-4
---- tried with both java 6.12 and 6.13 (1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02), use Netbeans NetBeans IDE 6.5 (Build 200811100001)
---- put those flags: -Xms5m -Xmx5m -
Memory leak with Power Spectrum function
Hi
I have a memory leak on my application. By observing with the "Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit", the Power Spectrum function (from NI_AALPro.lvlib) seems to have two "Reference leak".
The first one refers to the function "Open VI reference"; I got around this problem by replacing the "Open VI reference" by an "Initialize" input boolean, but I don't understand the second memory leak.
Any idea ?
Thanks...

Thank you for using NI Discussion Forums!
I reproduce this problem with LV2012 + Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit 2012. I will look further into this.
Are there many calls of this function in your code? Could it be a problem for you?
Thank you.
