[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62459] Severe memory leak when functions are nested

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62459 (project octave):

A quick analysis:


  R = p*rand(1);
  leak_anon_fcn = @() 1./ R;


The first line produces one copy of the input in the variable R.

The second line produces a second copy of the input because variables are
replaced by their values when an anonymous function is created.  For example,


x = 3;
f = @() 1./ x;


is equivalent internally to


f = @() 1./ 3


I'm not sure where the third copy is coming from.
