[jira] [Commented] (TS-2767) ATS Memory Leak related to SPDY

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2767?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13986303#comment-13986303 ] 

Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-2767:
-----------------------------------

We really need to go back and fix the code using std::string, and other STL constructs in our critical path. That's not cool.

>  During production testing of SPDY, we noticed ATS's memory quickly grows to about 20g RES and 31g VIRT and eventually becomes unresponsive. dstat shows a lot of disk/paging activity. 
> Running Valgrind on a single request (using spdycat) shows the below possible leaks.

> Upon closer look, one possible issue might be the usage std::string in the SpdyRequest object. The string objects created during spdy request processing may not be getting released correctly. 
> Adding the below additional code in SpdyRequest::clear() to swap out the string objects with dummy/empty string objects seems to satisfy Valgrind to not report the above leaks any more. Am now trying this version on the production host to confirm further. Will keep posted.
