Memory leak on repeated connection/disconnection

[crodriguezvega]

Hi,

I am running the ReactiveServer sample in the following scenario: I have a test application with a loop and within this loop a ReactiveClient is created, then connects to the server, waits 200 ms and then disconnects. The client does not send any data to the server.

What I see in the memory profiler of Visual Studio is that the memory usage of the server grows linearly when I run my test application. When the test application stops, the memory usage of the server does not drop; it stays at whatever level it reached.

The memory leak does not seem to happen (or at least not so clearly, with linear grow of memory usage) when I run the ReactiveServer sample without the code that instantiates the StringChannel class and subscribes to the Receiver. For that reason, I was suspecting that the memory leak could be related to the fact that the subscription to the Receiver of the protocol is not properly disposed when the client disconnects. I have read that in normal circumstances (if the observable sequence finishes), then the subscription is automatically disposed, but if the sequence does not complete, then it is not disposed. I have tried to dispose the subscription in the Disconnected event handler, but I did not see any noticeable improvement.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
