Fixes #176
Problem and Cause
When a
sync
orfuture
cache was dropped, value part of cache entries were left allocated (leaked). This was due to a bug in theDrop::drop
method ofmoka::cht::SegmentedHashMap
; it was usingbucket::defer_acquire_destroy
function to drop any entry (abucket
struct), but that function only drops the key part of the entry.Fix
Fixed the bug by updating the
drop
method ofmoka::cht::SegmentedCache
to use the followings:bucket
(having both the key and value), usebucket::defer_destroy_bucket
function to drop both the key and value.bucket
(having the tombstone bit set and having only the key), continue usingbucket::defer_acquire_destroy
function to drop only the key.Verification
Verified the fix by the following methods:
valgrind
and confirmed that the memory leak was fixed.moka::cht::segment::test::drop_map_after_concurrent_updates
to ensure that thedrop
method of both the key and value types are called when the map is dropped.
