[Ironpython-users] WeakRef'tracker

[Markus Schaber]

Hi,

What's the purpose of IronPython.Rumtime.WeakRefTracker?

I did run the attached program (which is similar to the example for http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31764).

After running a bunch of scripts, the program calls GC.Collect() and GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() several times.

At that moment, the code does not hold any reference to any IronPython or Scripting related objects, so I'd expect everything to be cleaned up by the GC.

Despite that fact, I found out that the program spends several seconds with 100% CPU load after returning from the Main() method. When Breaking it in the Debugger several times, it did always end up in the Finalizer method of the WeakRefTracker, so my guess is that most of those several seconds are spent there.

Best regards

Markus Schaber
