Unfreed data is a useless overhead and may cause an application to abend due to lack of memory. -In Perl, circular references are a common cause of memory leaks. Circular -references are allowed in Perl, but data structures containing circular -references will leak memory unless the programmer takes specific measures -to prevent leaks. Preventive measures include weakening the references -and arranging to break the reference cycle just before the structure is -destroyed. +Normally if the last reference to something is discarded then it and +anything in it is freed automatically. But this might not occur due to +circular references, unexpected global variables or closures, or reference +counting mistakes in XSUBs. -When using circular references, it is easy to misdesign or misimplement a -scheme for preventing memory leaks. Mistakes of this kind have been hard to -detect in a test suite. +Test::Weaken is named for the strategy used to detect leaks. References +are taken to the test objects and all their contents, then those +references are weakened and expected to be then freed. -Test::Weaken allows easy detection of unfreed Perl data. Test::Weaken allows -you to examine the unfreed data, even data that would usually have been made -inaccessible. +There's options to ignore intentional globals, or include extra associated +data held elsewhere, or invoke an explicit destructor. Unfreed parts are +reported and can be passed to other modules such as Devel::FindRef to try +to discover why they weren't freed. -Test::Weaken frees the test structure, then looks to see if any of the -contents of the structure were not actually deallocated. By default, -Test::Weaken determines the contents of a data structure by examining -arrays and hashes, by following references, and by following tied variables -to their underlying object. Test::Weaken does this recursively to unlimited -depth. - -Test::Weaken can deal with circular references without going into infinite -loops. Test::Weaken will not visit the same Perl data object twice. +Test::Weaken examines structures to an unlimited depth and is safe on +circular structures. diff --git a/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/Makefile b/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/Makefile index 1273032dddf..a98471cc7c4 100644 --- a/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/Makefile +++ b/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/Makefile @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ -# $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.5 2011/12/14 03:14:06 hiramatsu Exp $ +# $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.6 2012/09/15 14:43:53 wen Exp $ # -DISTNAME= Test-Weaken-3.006000 +DISTNAME= Test-Weaken-3.020000 PKGNAME= p5-${DISTNAME:S/006000/006.000/} CATEGORIES= devel perl5 MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN:=Test/} diff --git a/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/distinfo b/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/distinfo index f6e1fe3f995..8d841f1b9a6 100644 --- a/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/distinfo +++ b/devel/p5-Test-Weaken/distinfo @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -$NetBSD: distinfo,v 1.3 2011/12/14 03:14:06 hiramatsu Exp $ +$NetBSD: distinfo,v 1.4 2012/09/15 14:43:53 wen Exp $ -SHA1 (Test-Weaken-3.006000.tar.gz) = e041b9c8dce3c0fef7379ae938fea85f4a8e675a -RMD160 (Test-Weaken-3.006000.tar.gz) = 931feb93d8f83d0733b9150a77b05d11682c2138 -Size (Test-Weaken-3.006000.tar.gz) = 37202 bytes +SHA1 (Test-Weaken-3.020000.tar.gz) = b8a7cc66560fe009ebca59dc5c910384d197369d +RMD160 (Test-Weaken-3.020000.tar.gz) = a0e69af72b772b1851f6b332adb1d74412ee567d +Size (Test-Weaken-3.020000.tar.gz) = 48026 bytes |
