I'm trying to run PHP in my own multithreaded environment.
Memory leaks are critical for my application.

I've tried to track the leaks down using memprof and I think
I've found a leak in the initialization of globals in standard regex
extension.

There's original module initialization taken
from PHP 4.2.1 sources (ext/standard/reg.c):

PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(regex)
{
#ifdef ZTS
	ts_allocate_id(&reg_globals_id,
         sizeof(php_reg_globals),
        (ts_allocate_ctor) php_reg_init_globals, NULL);
#else
     	php_reg_init_globals(&reg_globals TSRMLS_CC);
#endif

      	return SUCCESS;
}

There's no destructor routine registered for the globals for thread-safe version of PHP.

I've tried to correct it writing destructor routine, there's the modified source:

static void php_reg_destroy_globals(php_reg_globals *reg_globals TSRMLS_DC)
{
 	zend_hash_destroy(&reg_globals->ht_rc);
}

PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(regex)
{
#ifdef ZTS
        ts_allocate_id(&reg_globals_id,     sizeof(php_reg_globals),
                (ts_allocate_ctor) php_reg_init_globals,
                (ts_allocate_dtor) php_reg_destroy_globals);
#else
        php_reg_init_globals(&reg_globals TSRMLS_CC);
#endif
}

I'm not sure if my modification is clean, but it seems to solve the leak problem.

The problem is still present in 4.2.1

Can you verify against HEAD if this problem is still there?
 [2002-06-03 06:15 UTC] tzikmund at iccc dot cz
I've tried the latest CVS version and it seems the problem is still here.

Please try with this snapshot:

I've tried the snapshot but situation is the same - the module
leaks 32 bytes every init/shutdown cycle.

Assigned to Andrei per his request.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
