Last week I was hunting the memory leaks with RefsHunter because the abnormal amount of Point instances in the object memory.

FreeTypeCache cleanUp. Clipboard startUp: true. RubEditingState allInstances do: [ :each | each instVarNamed: #undoManager put:nil]. GTPlayBook reset. EditorFindReplaceDialogWindow cleanUp. ActiveHand resetClickState; releaseAllFocus. UITheme current focusIndicator: nil. 40 timesRepeat: [ 1 second wait. World doOneCycle. ].

I will try to find the reason why they appear, not only how to kill them.

Cheers, -- Pavel

Hi!

It looks like that we are currently suffering memory leaks. In march 2015 it was said in the mailing list:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I also tried this:

1. Create a dummy class:

Object subclass: #AAA instanceVariableNames: 'x' classVariableNames: '' category: 'AAA'.

2. Open a Playground and do it and go on this:

a := #AAA asClass new.

3. In the second pane go on "self"

4. Close the Playground

5. Execute:

3 timesRepeat: [ Smalltalk garbageCollect ].

6. Check:

#AAA asClass allInstances.

7. Repeat if necessary, and after a while, the result after step 6 is not

empty.

The problem is still present. Looking at the pointers

There was an object reference crawler no? I remember someone worked on this? I tried sending #pointersTo but I without much success on identifying the cause of this leak.

Any idea?
