Re: Trying to find out where the memory went

David and Pauli, When I change the test script to:

    var_dump(memory_get_peak_usage());
    gc_collect_cycles();
    token_get_all(file_get_contents(<FILE>));
    gc_collect_cycles();
    var_dump(memory_get_peak_usage());

And execute the following bash line preceding:

    export USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0

I get the following output:

    int(8240)
    int(8240)

When I remove the gc_collect_cycles I get the same result. Even assigning the results to a variable do not increase the peak memory. FYI: When I change the argument of memory_get_peak_usage to 'true', I get the following results:

    int(262144)
    int(262144)

This amount is astoundingly less than the previous conclusions and less than my own calculations would show. Of course this leads me to the following questions: 1. Does it hurt to disable the Zend MM? 2. Can it be done from inside a PHP Script? 3. Why is the memory consumption so much lower, even lower than my calculations? I assume it is a good thing to at least try to create an easy way to reproduce the issue (cannot include my test file) and create a bug report about this :) Thank you for your assistance thus far.

Seems like leak. Try disabling ZendMM to see if something noticeable happens (memory peak should be lower). USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 Cheers, Julien On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 2:01 PM, David Zülke <david.zuelke@bitextender.com> wrote:

Smells like a memory leak if gc_collect_cycles() doesn't fix it. David
