RE: PHP 4.0 Bug #9715 Updated: Memory leak when passing string values to modular variables in COM

Hi Sniper: Actually I was posting two different cases of possibly the same bug. One case is passing String value to a static variable in the COM object. The other is passing String value as an argument in a method exposed by the COM object. They both leak memory, and all my php-com work is leaking memory so this is not an isolated problem. I use VJ++ to write COM objects, as Java handles its own garbage collection. -----Original Message----- From: Bug Database [mailto:php-dev@lists.php.net] Sent: Wednesday, 14 March 2001 8:09 AM To: Jason@hspace.net Subject: PHP 4.0 Bug #9715 Updated: Memory leak when passing string values to modular variables in COM ID: 9715 Updated by: sniper Reported By: Jason@hspace.net Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: COM related Assigned To: Comments: submitted twice Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-12 22:17:54] Jason@hspace.net That wasn't it... I tried it without passing a constant, and it's still leaking memory! So this is an outstanding serious bug with no workaround. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-12 22:02:03] Jason@hspace.net Found the problem. It only leaks memory, if I pass a CONSTANT from PHP to the COM object. All I have to do now is rewrite the php so that I'm passing a variable, not a constant. Probably this issue can be closed after someone has a look into it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-12 19:56:02] Jason@hspace.net This is a new bug that I found. Memory is leaked when passing string values to String variables in the modular scope of the COM object. Example: COM object has public variable called temp which is of String data type. I instantiate the COM object and reference it with $t_obj. I pass a string value from php like this:- $t_obj->temp = "This is a test string."; PHP has many other bugs concerning passing values through COM, but this bug is more serious because I am only trying to pass String values to the variables directly, without having to call a method to pass the values to the variables. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
