<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576523 by <a href="/recipes/users/4129454/">david decotigny</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/cycle/">cycle</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/garbage/">garbage</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/leak/">leak</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/memory/">memory</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/reclaim/">reclaim</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>This module provides 3 ways of detecting which objects have been allocated (methods 1 and 3) or became un-reclaimable (method 2) between 2 points in the code. It can be very useful to detect memory leaks (eg. cycles involving objects with a __del__ method).</p>
