AWSY is not a replacement for shutdown-leak testing. It's limited to code exercised by TP5. Small leaks are masked by normal variation in memory use. Fuzzing with partial* leak checks frequently catches regressions missed by AWSY. MemShrink does care about these bugs. I imagine the same would be true for full** leak checks if Firefox passed enough of its own tests to be fuzzable. https://bugzil.la/ALL+reporter:jruderman+kw:mlk * trace-refcnt ** trace-malloc, LSan, or valgrind (which has modes for distinguishing still-reachable memory from totally leaked memory) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
