html: html.Parse() leaks memory #5938
Description
by jake.austwick:
What steps will reproduce the problem? Running the following gist produces the problem. I tried to make a smaller test case, but it doesn't seem to leak when just parsing local files. It seems that html.Parse() is not getting all the memory used garbage collected. Memory will only leak using live URL's like the file below. Sample Program: https://gist.github.com/JakeAustwick/1cbdb5e9e3e778b4ff42 urls.txt (needed to run): https://gist.github.com/JakeAustwick/82c9d4ce300639a4d275/raw/368c41ce6ba95f03cbc25a188dd3c07646a068b0/gistfile1.txt What is the expected output? Memory not to increase until system memory is exhausted. What do you see instead? Memory slowly increases until it is all gone. Increase WORKER_COUNT to increase leakage speed. Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)? 6g Which operating system are you using? Ubuntu 12.10 Which version are you using? (run 'go version'): go version go1.1 linux/amd64
