Bug #46103 ReflectionObject memory leak
Submitted: 2008-09-17 04:26 UTC Modified: 2017-10-10 16:11 UTC
From: jim dot keller at contextsolutions dot net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Performance problem
PHP Version: 5.2.6 OS: Windows XP
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
when a reflector is stored in a class property, the reflector appears to stay in memory after the object is destroyed. This could be related to #33595

Reproduce code:
---------------
class testclass {

   protected $_r;

   public function __construct() {

     $this->getr();

   }


   public function getr() {

     if ( !$this->_r ) $this->_r = new ReflectionObject($this);

     return $this->_r;

   }

}

for ( $j = 0; $j < 100; $j++ ) {

  $t = new testclass();
  echo memory_get_usage() . '<br />';
}



Expected result:
----------------
memory usage should stay constant

Actual result:
--------------
memory usage increases with every iteration

Try using memory_get_usage(true).
http://docs.php.net/memory-get-usage

I don't found any memory leak.

hmm, seems not a ZE issue
 [2011-09-27 08:27 UTC] laruence@php.net
it seems because the object pass to ReflectionObject::__construct is stored in a 
custom struct, which can not be reached by gc_collect_cycles.

Confirming that this still leaks on PHP 7.
