[ruby-core:68912] [Ruby trunk - Bug #10942] Suspected memory leak

Issue #10942 has been updated by Eugene Pimenov.


I reduced the test case to

~~~
require 'stringio'
require 'securerandom'

loop do
  for i in 1..100
    StringIO.new << SecureRandom.hex
  end
  GC.start
end
~~~

Can reproduce on trunk.

----------------------------------------
There seems to be memory leaking when calling Aws::SQS::Client#receive_message in Ruby 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. I am not very good at memory/object allocation profiling in Ruby, but I know for sure that there must be some issue, because my SQS workers run out of memory every day.

See gist https://gist.github.com/quezacoatl/7657854f371edcb5d8e6 to reproduce. I've added output.txt for my output for different Ruby versions. Ruby 2.1.2 works fine. I'm sorry that I cannot pinpoint the exact issue. Perhaps somebody with better profiling skills can do this?
