[jQuery] Memory leaks forever
I'm not sure what is causing this leak, unless all this code were nested
inside another function, in which case it would be the closure circular
reference leak.
I would be curious to know if my $.closure patch fixes it. Would you want to
try it and let me know? I've been meaning to post something about this, but
in the meantime here is the code:
http://mg.to/jquery-code/closure.js
It's not a .patch file, just edit the code into a test copy of jQuery.
You'll need to add the $.closure() function itself, and then in addEvent()
there is a one-line change. This line:
handlers[handler.$$guid] = handler;
needs to be changed to:
handlers[handler.$$guid] = $.closure(handler);
