Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: iga Seilnacht (zseil) >Assigned to: Peter à strand (astrand) Summary: Memory leak in subprocess module Initial Comment: The memory leak is in _subprocess module in functions getint and gethandle. They forget to decref the objects returned by PyObject_GetAttrString(). The bug is present in version 2.4 as well as in the trunk. Few more bugs in the subprocess module that I found while looking for the leak: - class STARTUPINFO is missing a wShowWindow attribute (this is hidden because _subprocess.CreateProcess() ignores most of the exceptions) - _execute_child() had a nonsensical test (if not None in tuple_of_posible_file_handles) - _execute_child() is assigning attributes to a default_startupinfo, which isn't used if user supplies another one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1500293&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
