[jira] Created: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: XERCESC-1508
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508
     Project: Xerces-C++
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 2.6.0    
 Environment: SUSE Linux 9
    Reporter: peter suggitt


Hi

I am writing an aplication that has to create XML documents on the fly for interprocess communications.

The problem that I have is that the memory is not being released when I use the DOMDocument (documentType) constructor.  I have played around with various different ways of releasing the memory including using the DOMDocumentType->release() method but alas no luck.  I appreciate that this may not seem like a huge issue but as I am looking memory everytime I create a new document I feel that this is an issue to be resolved.

I have also found a few excepts on the web talking about this issue and there also seems to be a few people who believe this issue to be a case of bad API use:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xerces-c-dev/200505.mbox/%3c87vf5bi9gy.fsf@openinformatics.com%3e
.. this is followed up by a gentleman named Gareth Reakes from PathenonComputing describing that this is to do with the way that the release methods have not been called .. I do not believe him:
"Nope, not a real leak. When you free the document the memory pools that were used to new things from are deleted so it cleans up all the things like the attribute list from the creation of an element."

The below example shows how this is not the case.

I have created the following example code thaqt fully replicates the issue including taking stats of the memory usage (RSS) after each document creation and deletion.  Please note that in main() I have a commented out version of the call to create the document as this shows how the standard constructor for the domdocument creates without any memory leaks

----------------------------------------

Hi,

I have not tried with the 2.7 implementation.  Was there a specific fix for this issue in that version?

I have not tried using the factories from the document class.  I have had  look around the header files for another way around this but I have not found one that will allow me to set the sys and pub ids as I am trying to do above.  The non standard extensions in the DOMDocument header file only show a reference back to the 
      virtual DOMDocumentType *createDocumentType(const XMLCh *name) = 0;
method.  If there is a more correct way to approach the document type construction through the domument API then I am willing to give it a go and feed back any results (please advise).

This still does not resolve the underlying issue of a memory leak in there.  Realistically there should be a way to release this object once we have finished using the document implicitly through the DOMDocument destructor/realease mecahnsim.  Destroying the type when the document is in existence breaks your model of memory management.

Thank you for the swift response in this matter.

Sincerely
Peter Suggitt

----------------------------------------

Hi,

     What you see there is not a memory leak. It seems more memory is being taken up because we use a global document to create things in the  DT. This is then released when we call terminate. If you call terminate at the end of your test program and then the memory usage call again you will see that is drops to a constant value no matter how many times the loop in the test program is called. I agree that this is not desirable. I also agree that the model of the DT does not fit our memory model. Can you confirm that what I say fits with what you see? I will have a think about and talk to others about the best way to make this nicer.

Cheers,

Gareth

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "peter suggitt (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.

peter suggitt commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

Hi Gareth

Terminate .. as in XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate()?

This would certainly not fit in with any design that requires an ongoing parsing function.

In the implementation that I have been using I create a singleton for xerces that manages all xml functionality.  I create 1 parser and 1 writer and utilise them throughout the lifespan of the application (intended to be in the scale of days/months).  This will only release the memory when the singleton calls the std::atexit() method (thus cleaning the singleton object and calling terminate on the platform).  This is (I believe) how this should be implemented.  If I were to follow your above suggestion, I would have to create a new parser (pls associated objects) for every parse that I perform (I may as well render it to static functionality) so I do not see this as a viable work around.

I think the solution lies in the management of the DT address space, as you have stated above.

For the record I will change the test-harness above the test with the terminate function to prove that terminate will release the memory and come back to you.  But I will state that this is not a valid workaround for the issues I am seeing.

I look forward to the feedback from your discussions.

Kind regards
Pete

[jira] Updated: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Boris Kolpackov (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Boris Kolpackov updated XERCESC-1508:
-------------------------------------

      Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)

This is a design issue so I am changing this from Bug to Improvement.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "peter suggitt (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=comments#action_12331180 ] 

peter suggitt commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

>> There were many fixes in 2.7, I don't know if this was fixed. The first thing that I will have to to is try with the latest version and I was hopeing you would do that :) 

I do not have a 2.7 version available at the moment.  And after taking a while to get the 2.6 version running (had to download some extra source code for compilation) I would rather not.  Do you have a verion of 2.7 that this test app (see attachment) can be run against?

I take it this is something that you will be looking into? (The above comment suggests that you may we waiting for some confirmation from me).

Based on the code i have supplied can you suggest an alternative approach to the construction beyond the following:
    XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::DOMImplementation *imp = XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::DOMImplementation::getImplementation(); 
    // create the document type and the doc 
    XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::DOMDocumentType *type = imp->createDocumentType( tName, pub, sys ); 
    XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::DOMDocument *tmp = imp->createDocument( NULL, name, type ); 

I do not actually see an alternative that allows me so explicitly set the type, public id and system id.  perhaps I have missed something.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Hal Black (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12497119 ] 

Hal Black commented on XERCESC-1508:
------------------------------------

I ran a few more tests, but I think you guys have a handle on it.  Here's a quick summary:
Leak:
impl->createDocumentType()->release()

Leak:
impl->createDocument(0,0,impl->createDocumentType())->release()   [DOMDocumentType->release() *IS* called]

No Leak:
doc = impl->createDocument(0,0,0)
doc->createDocumentType()
doc->release()

Terminate:
doc1 = impl->createDocument(0,0,0)
docType = doc1->createDocumentType()
impl->createDocument(0,0,docType)

[I even tried to trick the above with cloneNode, to no avail.]

Segfault:
docType = impl->createDocument(0,0,0)
doc1 = impl->createDocument(0,0,docType)->release()
doc2 = impl->createDocument(0,0,docType)->release() (kaboom)

So it looks like there is some hybrid of keeping the part of the ownership of docType with the document, and part in the DOM implementation global document?  I looked at the source briefly and it was too invovled for me to figure out.

Anyone have any bright ideas for a workaround?

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "peter suggitt (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.

----------------------------------------

Gareth hi

I have indeed tried out the suggested approach and have changed the main method of the test-harness as below:
std::cout << "**************** starting" << std::endl;

    for( int i = 0; i < 100; ++i )
    {
        XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
        XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::DOMDocument * doc = createNewDocWithType();
        std::cout << "    - Doing something with the document" << std::endl;
        doc->release();
        usleep(100000);
        std::cout << "* Memory (rss): " << getMemorySize() << std::endl;
        XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
        std::cout << "* Memory (rss): " << getMemorySize() << std::endl;
    }
    
    std::cout << "**************** ending" << std::endl;

This turns out to be rock-solid when executed, as you have suggested

One thing that I have noticed is that if instead of calling release on the document I simply delete the doc (replacing 'doc->release' with 'delete doc') from the heap then there is a leak ... ?????  The memory size increases from 2620 -> 2644 over 100 iterations.

This kind of suggests that there is a wider issue here with the way that memory is allocated and released (as we have both agreed above).

I do not think there is a great deal more that I can add to this now, if there is pls do let me know and I will do my best to help.

I look forward to your thoughts in this matter.

Kind regards
Pete

----------------------------------------

Hi Pete,

         Yes there has been. Alby and I had a think and I am implementing a fix where the DT is just stored normally in the memory manager rather than being in a global document. Looking at the code there are several problems, including threading issues and lack of use of a user memory  manager. I am on a sales run at the moment so don't have much time but hope to have this fixed in the next couple of weeks. If you would like to help out the give us a shout.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Gareth Reakes (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=comments#action_12331372 ] 

Gareth Reakes commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

I have had a good look at the code now and interestingly the doctype is only deleted in the document->release method, not in the destructor. Release does however delete the document. Calling release should solve your problem for now. I will move the deletion of the DT into the destructor and document the difference in behaviour of calling each one (that is that release will also call the user data handlers and therefore be slower). Please give this a try and report back so I can see if this is fixed.

Cheers,

Gareth

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Guilhem Bonnefille (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12760643#action_12760643 ] 

Guilhem Bonnefille commented on XERCESC-1508:
---------------------------------------------

I still do not understand how to create a Document with a DocumentType without memory leaks (on Solaris 10 with 3.0.1).

My process produces many many XML documents. As it is "resident", its memory is growing more and more.


Is there any workaround? Any patch to apply?

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Boris Kolpackov (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.

Boris Kolpackov commented on XERCESC-1508:
------------------------------------------

I chatted to Alberto about this. Here is the log of our conversation. My understanding is that it is better to use doc->createDocumentType() than impl->createDocumentType(). The same conclusion as Hal Black arrived at in his last comment.

(06:45:40 PM) boseko_1278: Any thoughts on this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508
(06:47:12 PM) Alberto: the DOMDocument expects the DTD to come from its pool
(06:47:21 PM) Alberto: so it doesn't delete it
(06:47:46 PM) Alberto: but if the user allocates the DTD from the DOMImplementation object, it simply points to it 
(06:48:14 PM) boseko_1278: So why the memory leak then?
(06:49:50 PM) Alberto: from what I recall, the leak doesn't exist; the owner of the DTD is the DOMImplementation, and will be freed only when shutting down Xerces
(06:54:19 PM) boseko_1278: HM, and if we call release() on DocType, it is still not released?
(06:55:37 PM) Alberto: when you release a node, you are simply putting it in a list for being recycled later
(06:55:43 PM) Alberto: you are not deleting anything
(06:56:05 PM) Alberto: DOMDocument::release deletes all the memory in one shot
(06:56:19 PM) Alberto: but if the DTD didn't come from that memory pool, it is not deleted
(06:56:33 PM) boseko_1278: Yes, I understand
(06:57:16 PM) boseko_1278: It just seems to me that DOMDocument and DOMDocumentType are the same "kind" of objects. They are created by DOMImplementation
(06:57:40 PM) boseko_1278: But DOMDocument you can release with a call to release() while DOMDocumentType you cannot. Strange
(06:58:10 PM) Alberto: the issue is that a DTD can be created both as part of a document, and as a standalone object
(06:58:26 PM) boseko_1278: We are talking about different things.
(06:59:16 PM) boseko_1278: Let me put it this way: If I explicitly call release() on DOMDocumentType object that was created by DOMImplementation, will the memory be freed/reused?
(07:07:59 PM) Alberto: it's middle way
(07:09:12 PM) Alberto: if you call release on a DTD created by DOMImplementation, it will delete itself, but the memory used to store the lists of entities and elements comes from a static DOMDocument
(07:09:25 PM) Alberto: that is deleted at shutdown
(11:01:09 AM) boseko_1278: So you are saying that some parts of DOMDocumentType will be released and some won't
(11:02:34 AM) boseko_1278: Are those lists of entities and elements shared among all DOMDocumentTypes?
(11:10:46 AM) Alberto: the lists are per DTD
(11:10:46 AM) Alberto: but yes, the major part of the memory will not be released
(11:12:41 AM) boseko_1278: so, that's a bug then
(11:13:27 AM) boseko_1278: and there doesn't seem to be any workaround
(11:23:20 AM) Alberto: well, it's more a design issue
(11:23:20 AM) Alberto: who wrote it assumed that the DOMImpletation::createDTD was not an often used API
(11:23:20 AM) Alberto: and that was acceptable to delay the deletion of the memory at shutdown
(11:23:20 AM) Alberto: so, the workaround is to use the createDTD method of the DOMDocument
(11:25:13 AM) boseko_1278: Hm, that's sounds easy. Any idea why people don't do it?
(11:51:25 AM) Alberto: the ones who complain about the problem probably have chosen that approach
(11:51:25 AM) Alberto: but I don't know what they find valuable in using it

> Hi
> I am writing an aplication that has to create XML documents on the fly for interprocess communications.
> The problem that I have is that the memory is not being released when I use the DOMDocument (documentType) constructor.  I have played around with various different ways of releasing the memory including using the DOMDocumentType->release() method but alas no luck.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Guilhem Bonnefille (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12761205#action_12761205 ] 

Guilhem Bonnefille commented on XERCESC-1508:
---------------------------------------------

Yeah!!! It works!!! Many thanks Boris.

As a reminder, the following code leaks:

impl->createDocument(0,0,impl->createDocumentType())->release();

It's equivalent code is:

doc = impl->createDocument(0,0,0)
dtd = doc->createDocumentType()
doc->appendChild(dtd)
doc->release()

Note the "append" to have the same behaviour.

----------------------------------------

Hiya

Thank you for the kind invitation to participate in the implementation of this fix.  Unfortunately I am going to be very busy completing a Masters Dissertation (it was in the implementation of this that I actualy found the issue) for the next month.

I not be able to look at this until the new year but after which I will gladly lend a hand if the bug is still outstanding and becoming budensome.

Thanks again
Pete

This was what I saw when I was looking at it too.  What I also found was that when the release method is called we also have a memory leak.

My gut feel on this is that there is an identified leak in the delete doc approach and an unidentified one in the doc->release approach.

I tried both ways last night and even changed it so that the code first calls release and then delete.  In this second 'test' I saw that the call to free threw issues.  Either way (the/a) leak remains.

Have you run the above test harness in your investigations.  I believe you will find it quite a useful incite into this issue.

Sincerely
Pete

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "peter suggitt (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=comments#action_12331311 ] 

peter suggitt commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

Hi

I have added in the debug output as described and still have a leak in there.

Even with all the debug in there the docType->release() method is just not being called at all when you simply delete the doc as in the attached test harness.

Looking at the DOMDocumentImpl::~DOMDocumentImpl() destructor it seems that there is absolutely no mention of the document type in there.   However there is a DOMDocumentImpl::release() method that does free up the document type but again just calling that will result in leaks.

This kind of suggests that there is more than one leak in there.

Would it not be better to have a constructor for the document that simply takes in the parameters of the document type instead of the document type pointer so that the document can be fully responsible for the doc type memory allocation?

Sincerely 
Pete Suggitt

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Gareth Reakes (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.

Gareth Reakes commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

Hi,

>>I have not tried with the 2.7 implementation. Was there a specific fix for this issue in that version? 

There were many fixes in 2.7, I don't know if this was fixed. The first thing that I will have to to is try with the latest version and I was hopeing you would do that :)

>>The non standard extensions in the DOMDocument header file only show a reference back to the ...

The non standard extensions are overriden in the implementation (DOMDocumentImpl). Its not that its more correct, but it would be interesting to see if the same behaviour occurs.

>>Destroying the type when the document is in existence breaks your model of memory management. 

This should not happen. When you set the documentType on the document, it takes resposibility for deleting it when release is called. Take a look at in  DOMDocumentTypeImpl::release() (this is called from the DOMDocumentImpl::release). If you have the source code then I would suggest you put some debug in

void DOMDocumentTypeImpl::release()
{
    if (fNode.isOwned()) {
        if (fNode.isToBeReleased()) {
            // we are calling from documnet.release() which will notify the user data handler
            if (fIsCreatedFromHeap) {
                DOMDocumentType* docType = this;
                delete docType;
            }
        }


then you will see if the DocumentType is being deleted. If it is not then we are nearer to working out what is going on.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Gareth Reakes (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=comments#action_12331085 ] 

Gareth Reakes commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

Hi, I cannot see anything wrong with your code. I have had a quick look at the implementation and that looks fine at first look. I will take a more in depth look tomorrow. Can you confirm that this happens with 2.7? Also, have you tried creating the document type via the factories in the document rather than the implementation? Does that make any difference?

Cheers,

Gareth

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "Gareth Reakes (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.

Gareth Reakes commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

I can get download a version of 2.7 and see what happens. Are you intending to put the debug in I suggested?



The poorly documeted

virtual DOMDocumentType* DOMDocument::createDocumentType  	(   	const XMLCh *   	 qName,
		const XMLCh *  	,
		const XMLCh *  	
	)  	[virtual]


does what you want I think.

[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1508) createDocumentType does not release memory when document released/deleted

Posted by "peter suggitt (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>.
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1508?page=comments#action_12331314 ] 

peter suggitt commented on XERCESC-1508:
----------------------------------------

Hi Gareth

One thing I did forget to mention was that I did have a play with the DOMDocumentType* DOMDocument::createDocumentType but I do not think this helps much with the test harness illustration due to the fact that you need a document in place to then create the document type .. eg
1) create an empty document
2) create a document type from that document
3) use the document type to create a new document.

---> abort!

One thing that I have not seen anywhere is a doc type accessor (setter) so that I could do:
doc *d = imp->createDocument();
d.setDocumentType( d->createDocumentType(name, sys, pub) );

Obviously you want the doc type when you instantiate the doc rather than after the fact.

.. or am I off keel here?

Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely
Pete Suggitt
