I am working on an ajax chat application, done most of the work but when i tested it on IE (both on IE6 and IE7), found that there is a memory leak. The application works fine on FF. How can i fix this?
I have used ajax in the following way (this is a similar to how i am using ajax in my chat application); incrementer.php file on line # 34 simply prints an incremented value from the session -
<html>
-
<head>
-
<script language="javascript">
-
function getAjaxObject(){
-
try{
-
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
-
} catch (e){
-
// Internet Explorer Browsers
-
try{
-
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
-
} catch (e) {
-
try{
-
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
-
} catch (e){
-
// Something went wrong
-
alert("Your browser doesn't support ajax!");
-
return false;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
return ajaxRequest;
-
}
-
function startCounting(){
-
var a=getAjaxObject();
-
a.onreadystatechange = function(){
-
if(a.readyState==4){
-
var text=a.responseText;
-
var e=document.getElementById('val');
-
if(e){
-
e.innerHTML=text;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
a.open("GET", "incrementer.php", true);
-
a.send(null);
-
setTimeout(startCounting,1);
-
}
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>
-
<input type="button" value="Send Object" onclick="startCounting()" />
-
<div id="val"> </div>
-
</body>
-
</html>

1 millisecond is a bit too small, isn't it?
Try using something like IEDrip to detect the leak. It is often caused by circular references, particularly closures - see link.

Thanks for your reply. Setting the interval to 1 millisecond i can see quick increase in the use of memory.
I am unable to trace circular reference in my code. If there is any, please point to that & and how can i resolve this
I have found a solution which leads to another problem. The solution is given below, i have got rid of inner function (see line # 38 ). Now there is an error at line# 28 as i have no access to variable 'a' within updateText The problem is how can i access variable 'a' in the updateText function. -

One solution is to make 'a' global. If you don't want to do that, you can use a closure.

I can't use global variable and i have no idea how to use a closure. Please give me sample code

Basically creating a function which returns a function, e.g. - function updateText2(a) {
-
return function() {
-
updateText(a);
-
}
-
}
and calling that instead. See this link for an explanation of closures.
I have used closure, but the problem persists. Please see the code below what i am doing wrong -

Hello,
I am working on cross platform code that is displaying a huge memory
leak when compiled on 11.00 HPUX using the aCC -AA flag. It is not
leaking on NT, LINUX, Solaris, or HPUX without the -AA flag. In
another news group I came across some interesting (ok scarey)
information regarding memory leaks in the STL list<...> container. I
have compiled and executed the following code and verified that this
does in fact leak on my system.

We are using ODBC connection pooling with SQL Server 2000 v5 on Win 2000 v5

Each time we get a connection, SQLConnect, we see the memory usage go
up, about 52K. When we return the connection to the pool,
SQLDisconnect, and after the time that the connection remains in pool
expires we see the memory usage drop by about 28K.
Our basic steps for a select are:
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hGblEnv, &hdbc);

I'm aware of the circular reference memory leak problem with IE/closures.
I'm not sure exactly how to resolve it in this situation. Also, Firefox
appears to grow its memory size with the same code. So I'm wondering if I'm
missing something?
My test code is as follows:

Hi,
After following the advice received in this list, I have isolated the
memory leak problem I am having. I am also using MEMWATCH and I think it
is working properly.
The program does some calculations and stores elements in a list. After
that, a sorting algorithm is used over that list.
Two functions are called before the sorting process:
