Memory leak when a generator is created inside a function #36
Description
It looks like that the function environment where the generator is created and used is never released, even if the generator itself is not in scope anymore.
Here's a reprex:
g <- function() {
hello <- sample(1:1e7) # large object to easily verify the leak
generate_abc <- coro::generator(function() {
for (x in letters[1:3]) {
coro::yield(x)
}
})
coro::loop(for(x in generate_abc()) {
y <- x
})
}
for (x in 1:10) {
g()
gc()
print(lobstr::mem_used())
}
