With recent debian i386 perl 5.14.2, running a program
use Scalar::Util::Instance;
for (;;) {
Scalar::Util::Instance->generate_for('Foo');
}
uses ever more memory, whereas I hoped the anonymous coderef returned
would garbage collect when no longer used.
I wonder if the rv return in generate_for() should have an sv_2mortal.
That newRV is not used other than in the return is it?
XPUSHs( sv_2mortal(newRV_noinc((SV*)xsub)) );
