CFC memory leak? Why is this happening? Simple CFC running out of memory...

Re: CFC memory leak? Why is this happening? Simple CFC running out of memory... With or without VAR, the problem remains. Turn on memory profiling, and all memory gets eaten up... the solution is to turn memory profiling OFF, so yes, this question has been answered (by myself, look at the top). And YES, a bug report is filed.

I ran your exact code, with profiling switched on, with and without using var, and couldn't reproduce the issue in either case. In any case, the problem is apparently with the profiler, not with a "Simple CFC running out of memory". So your description of the problem isn't entirely correct. The test creates CFCs and query objects 50000 times. There is the crux of the problem.

What I know is, garbage collection is unpredictable. It is apparent that, in your test, objects pile up in memory, and don't get garbage-collected quick enough. I can imagine the same thing happening when you turn debugging on.  Server monitoring and debugging are processes that may be processing each and every object your application creates, without allowing the garbage-collector enough room for action.

You may or may not have found a bug. It is worth investigating anyway. That way, we'll know more.

You marked the problem as solved without as much as one word of clarification. Just as well I asked. Otherwise, you would have left a misleading impression.

Wimpie last logged in two days ago. Yet someone (else?) has just marked this thread as answered. What's going on here?

The cause of the memory leak is obvious. There's just that much straw you can load on the camel's back.

Think var! Then you give Coldfusion at least a chance to offload some of the garbage.

<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="remoteDataGet" access="remote" output="false" returntype="query">

  <cfset var qry = querynew('test','Integer')>
  <cfreturn qry>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

  <cfreturn querynew('test','Integer')>

While probably unrelated to the memory issue, is not "Integer" a reserved word in queries?

This is a tough one!! It seems that enabling memory profiling in the coldfusion server monitor eats up all the memory. Turn that off and everything works fine.

Adobe, this needs to be fixed or written in a 24 point bold font in the manual...
