mootools
The example to demonstrate the issue can be found here:
The test shows a basic Mootools class that contains an element variable with a click event attached. There’s also a “cleanup” function to remove the event and nullify the element variable.
My problem is that when I loop a thousand times to create the “LeakClass” instance and clean it up, it causes a major memory leak like there’s no tomorrow. I tested this on IE8 and Chrome.
On the other hand what I’ve noticed is that if I comment out the line that adds the “click” event, the code doesn’t leak.
Can somebody please help me structure the class/event in a manner that it doesn’t leak.
Thanks in advance.
