Bug #76874 [NEW]: Documentation of memory leak in Xml Parser

From: ksours at internetbrands dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 7.3.0beta3 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Documentation of memory leak in Xml Parser Description: ------------ There is a note on the xml_set_object that you need to unset the xml resource variable to avoid memory leaks. This *really* needs to be more prominent. It's possible to hit this condition in code that does not call xml_set_object and that's not the obvious place to look for information on why xml_parser_free isn't working correctly. Recommend at a minimum that a similar not be placed on the xml_parser_free entry. (Ideally calling xml_parser_free *should* be sufficient to avoid holding that memory in place but I assume there is some reason why this is not feasible). -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76874&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76874&r=mysqlcfg
