You can see a rough preview of the removal proposal, including motivation, at the following unofficial commit: https://github.com/measurement-factory/squid/commit/944cb4c > My question is: what happens if this context is not cleaned up/ctx_exit > is not called? Is there some other handler which removes stale contexts? No, there is not. Stale context will stay cached. I am not sure when/if it will be dropped/forgotten. That known problem is one of the reasons that legacy API should be removed. Modern Squids use CodeContext API instead. CodeContext is exception-aware and solves a few other problems.
