Description (last modified by )
When I was doing some computations on modular forms, I noticed that the ModularSymbols_clear_cache() was not doing what it claims to do.
sage: import gc sage: m=ModularSymbols(Gamma1(29),sign=1) sage: m=[] sage: ModularSymbols_clear_cache() sage: gc.collect() 57 sage: [x for x in gc.get_objects() if isinstance(x,sage.modular.modsym.ambient.ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g1)] [Modular Symbols space of dimension 49 for Gamma_1(29) of weight 2 with sign 1 and over Rational Field] sage:
So even after garbage collection the modular symbols element is still in memory.
When testing please also make sure that the last stackframe from #10570 is also gone.
Apply 10548-coerce-traceback.2.patch and trac_10548-coerce-traceback-doctest.v2.patch

According to heapy the aditional memory comes from;
dict of sage.modular.modsym.manin_symbols.ManinSymbol?

It's not an error of the ModularSymbols_clear_cache() function
sage: ModularSymbols(Gamma1(29),sign=1,use_cache=False) Modular Symbols space of dimension 49 for Gamma_1(29) of weight 2 with sign 1 and over Rational Field sage: None sage: gc.collect() 54 sage: [x for x in gc.get_objects() if isinstance(x,sage.modular.modsym.ambient.ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g1)] [Modular Symbols space of dimension 49 for Gamma_1(29) of weight 2 with sign 1 and over Rational Field]

See the attached chain.png picture created with objgraph. There is a reference chain to the homset module. And the homeset module will not get destroyed so we have to find out where this chain comes from.
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by
Might this be an instance of #715? Modular symbols spaces are Parents, so various maps in and out of them are probably getting cached by the coercion model machinery.

Sorry I failed in adding the mentioned chain.png before. It shows a reference chain explaining why ManinSymbol?(37,35) is still in the memory. It seems that it has at least to do something with code in the homset module. I don't know enough details about the coercion and category framework and their interaction to say that it has something to do with 715. But the description of 715 really looks like it could be the cause.
If it is coercion, it might also be related to: #10570

Here is some code run on sage 4.6.1 showing that it is really the coercion framework.
sage: import gc sage: import objgraph sage: import inspect sage: m=ModularSymbols(Gamma1(29),use_cache=False) sage: m=[] sage: ModularSymbols_clear_cache() sage: gc.collect() 54 sage: a=[x for x in gc.get_objects() if isinstance(x,sage.modular.modsym.ambient.ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g1)] sage: l=objgraph.find_backref_chain(a[0],inspect.ismodule,max_depth=15,extra_ignore=[id(a)]) sage: map(type,l) [<type 'module'>, <type 'dict'>, <type 'sage.structure.coerce.CoercionModel_cache_maps'>, <type 'list'>, <type 'tuple'>, <type 'traceback'>, <type 'frame'>, <type 'frame'>, <type 'frame'>, <type 'frame'>, <class 'sage.modular.modsym.ambient.ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g1_with_category'>]

btw it goes wrong in the same way on 4.7.alpha1

The attached patch fixes the issue described in the title, but does not fix #715.

Robert, (or someone else), can you review the doctest I added?

I folded in the doctest from the current patch at #10570, also by Maarten.

Ps. you might want to use smaller numbers then 97 to test because ModularSymbols?(Gamma1(97),sign=1) takes a while. It behaves the same, but with smaller memory usage for smaller numbers.
