I have a problem with stacking ephemeral dynamically generated classes that
do not get unloaded, and therefore the host JVM's class count constantly
increases.
My situation is like this. I have a need in my program to dynamically
interop with Java (see the example below for the exact meaning of
"dynamically interop with Java"). I use the following trick to bypass the
"CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't embed object in code,
maybe print-dup not defined" error:
(def ^:dynamic *hack*)
(let [obj "abc"
method "replace"
args [\a \b]]
(binding [*hack* (atom obj)]
(eval `(. @*hack*
~(symbol method) ~@args))))
;; => "bbc"
This works fine for my purpose---functionally. However, profiling shows
that the JVM loads more classes over time without unloading. The classes
that are get loaded have names like "clojure.core$eval12345" (with the
number constantly growing)., which suggests that the above code may be the
culprit.
Profiling also suggests that my program do not have other memory leak
problem besides this class leak problem---the heap consumption is flat with
repeated job. It is the non-heap memory usage that is associated with class
loading that keeps on growing.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this is appreciated.
