16466 - [MLK] nsDocuments leaking

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Norris Boyd]

1. Set breakpoints at nsDocument::nsDocument and nsDocument::~nsDocument.
2. Load www.yahoo.com.
3. You should hit the breakpoints for the constructor three times.
4. Click on "Computers and Internet".
5. You will *not* see any hits on the destructor.

I've also put a breakpoint on nsDocument::Reset, and none of the documents
appear to be reused. I've placed data watchpoints on the reference from
nsDocument to mPrincipal, and those never get hit. (nsCodebasePrincipals are
leaking for every page that is visited because they're held onto by nsDocument.)

(Patrick, I'm assigning to you since you're on the space team. Perhaps you'll
know whom to reassign to.)

I no longer see this leak. The destructors are getting called.
