#19342 [NEW]: Memory Leak Setting Property Value

From: msisolak@yahoo.com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: Memory Leak Setting Property Value There appears to be a memory leak when setting a property value of a COM object in 4.2.3. Running under ISAPI if this script is repeated memory usage continues to grow: $adodb = new COM("ADODB.Connection"); $adodb->ConnectionString = str_repeat("this is a text string!", 1000); Looking through the patches that have been applied, I believe that this is caused when COM.c went from 1.78 to 1.79 (which was then back-ported to 4.2.3). In this patch at the end of do_COM_propput(), this: FREE_VARIANT(new_value); became this: efree(new_value); // FREE_VARIANT does a VariantClear() which is not desired here ! If I reverse this patch I no longer see the leak and the code still appears to be working correctly. What was the purpose of this change? Does doing the FREE_VARIANT version cause some other issue? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19342&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19342&r=globals
