- p5-Test2-Tools-MemoryCycle Check for memory leaks and circular memory references
- 0.01 devel
 =0      Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch. - Maintainer: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
- Port Added: 2022-10-03 17:15:15
- Last Update: 2022-10-03 17:10:13
- Commit Hash: a304d68
- Also Listed In: perl5
- License: ART10 GPLv1+
- Description:
- Perl's garbage collection has one big problem: Circular references can't get
cleaned up. The above example is the sort of thing that sometimes trips me up,
where a code reference inside a data structure refers to another part of the
data structure. There already exists a good testing module to find these sort of
problems: Test::Memory::Cycle, so why write this one? Well that module uses
Test::Builder, and this one instead uses Test2::API. If you want to write
Test2::Suite tests without pulling in Test::Builder then this is the cycle
testing module for you.
Test2::Tools::MemoryCycle also uses the standard Exporter interface, instead of
letting you specify a test plan. That behavior was once in vogue I guess, but I
do not care for it.
