test script for showing memory leak none

Description Adrian Likins 2003-04-17 21:43:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

looks like results of IDXTLoad() never get
garbage collected... test script included
that shows it... just run that and it will
eat about 25 megs every iteration...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@sludge test]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.2-0.67


How reproducible:
pretty easy, see script...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run test script...

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-04-18 15:16:26 UTC 
Heh, missed refcount on header while building tuple of tuples of headers.
IDTXglob too.

What's bogus (by design) is sucking every header out of a rpmdb into
a >40Mb data structure. Getting an iterator on top of the glop, or
adding cutoff time on retrieval, is gonna be needed.

Changinging bug to RFE ...

refcount bug fixed, converting to RFE for iterator.
Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2003-09-15 04:14:54 UTC 
Moot problem afaik.
