如何解决为什么 valgrind 在一个简单的 OCaml 程序中会出现内存泄漏?
let main =
print_endline "Hello world"
这里是一个简单的OCaml程序^
当我用 ocamlc
编译,然后在 valgrind 中运行这个程序时:

当我用 ocamlopt

为什么用ocaml
编译的程序会出现内存泄漏?这些只是假内存泄漏吗?我需要担心这个吗?
解决方法
我相信 OCaml GC 比不知道 OCaml 工作原理的外部工具更明智地了解哪些内存是可访问的。此类工具需要做出非常笼统的假设,而这些假设很容易出错。
几乎没有泄漏报告,只有“可能”的泄漏(无论这意味着什么)。您可以想象 OCaml 字节码运行时在启动时分配少量全局存储。在我看来,将其称为“内存泄漏”是不正确的。退出时释放内存是没有意义的,因为这只是不必要的工作。
本机运行时没有显示泄漏(使用 ocamlopt 编译)。所以似乎没有什么需要解释的。
总之,我不会担心这个。在内存检查器的输出中,它不是一个错误,而是一个耸人听闻的术语。如果这些是 C 程序,则可能更有理由担心。
(然而,在退出之前释放全局内存仍然没有意义。因此,通过这种分析,许多 C 程序会报告类似的虚假“泄漏”。)
,字节码解释器正在“泄漏”一个包含可执行文件名称的 256 字节字符串。由于名称在程序的整个生命周期内都拥有,所以这并不重要。
而且由于“泄漏”发生在字节码解释器中,因此本机编译程序不会发生这种情况。
更普遍地使用 valgrind 对于垃圾收集语言(在编译器开发之外)并不是真正有用,因为垃圾收集器会吞噬所有内存。最好使用了解 GC 的内存分析器,例如 statmemprof。
