Leaks/Status Meetings/2007-October-16

Agenda

Get leak monitoring as an extension so that QA can test for leaks during litmus.
- bug 394466 should fix OS leaks on linux.
- AI:cbarrett Look into OS leaks on mac.
Improve tinderbox tests.
- Need to measure leaked GDI/user/kernel handles on windows. Possibly show on tinderbox.
- bug 374822 Need a windows tinderbox with leak numbers since OS leaks are lower there.
- AI:sicking Do leak monitoring while running tinderbox tests.
  - We do want to run trace-refcnt, trace-malloc on reftest/mochitest. (bug 397724)
  - Ideally we'd shut down between each testcase to identify where leaks happen. Mostly useful until we reach 0, but would help with regressions too.
- Want a separate test suite that tests for assertions, crashes, leaks. (bug 397725)
Important leak bugs:
- bug 396368 Live connect leak the biggest one still not fixed.
- bug 398292 tracks bugs that make it difficult to find other leaks through fuzzing.
- bug 394052 Seems to be the only remaining window/document/docshell leak in Mochitests on at least some platforms, possibly all of them.
Finding leaks in extensions
- Need to solve license issue
CoScripter Leak regression suite

AI:sicking Look into enabling trace-refcount, without the tracing part in nightlies.
AI:cbarrett Look into OS leaks on Mac.
AI:sicking Talk with build about setting up a Windows leak test machine (bug 374822).

Tinderbox tests
- Coop working on getting debug builds up and running on tinderbox.
Crash-test testsuite
- Code in the tree
- Need to decide on name and directory to put test
- Lets call it crash-test
- Can put tests either spread out like mochitests, or in a central directory like mozilla/testing/crashtest
Looks like we're not leaking handles, so not as urgent.
- Vlad might have looked into it with other tools.
Running litmus with debug builds
- AI:sicking: Talk with build about getting debug builds to QA for litmus testing.
Leak bugs
- Peter has patch in bug, ready for reviews
  - Fixes fault in CC which would be nice to have in for beta bug 386912
- Timer leaks bug 330128, bug 387341
  - If we fix bug 330128 we might not need to do bug 387341.
  - Threading issues, and doesn't help C++ callers
- Need more info on what's leaking to help with bug 387203. AI:Peterv to help out.
