Hi,
I have a web page which contains some machine-generated (from Haskell
for the curious) Javascript. This page displays an entry field, and
each time a number is typed, and Enter is pressed, the number is
converted to roman and printed above along with the time it took to
convert it. This is my "canonical" test program of the Haskell
converter.
The page is at http://www.golubovsky.org/repos/wsptest/EchoM.html
Haskell source if anybody is interested is
http://www.golubovsky.org/repos/wsptest/EchoM.hs
It works fine in Firefox, but leaks memory terribly in MSIE. I am
trying to find out the reason: where is that circular reference that
prevents objects from being GC'd.
Is there any free (not necessary open-source) tool specifically for
MSIE to inspect Javascript memory allocation and detect such circular
refs? One I saw, "Memory Validator", does not have free version.
Anything else?
Thanks.
