  1. start a random game
  2. stop it again.
  3. repeat it as much you like, memory usage increases around 47 MB with
    every start/stop cycle.

Tested on r4984 x64.


C2D 2.4Ghz, 4GB, Geforce 9700M, Win7/X64.

I confirm this.. r4921 32bits win7/32
and got crashes when stopping with jitIL instead of jit
(but the leak happens with both)

Just an addition, after stopping a game, you wont be able to scrub a dump.

Try r5031, it included a change to the way ISOs are loaded, so it might have an
effect on this bug.

yea the memory leak got slighty bigger which is weird @5034;)

(should have the accepted status :p)

32MB of this memory leak is contributed to Memory Card's destructor not being called
when it's deleted.

Please check if the amount is fixed with rev 5042.

r5045 and probably r5046 should also add up to this one (or rather, subtract :P)

Note that about 10-12 MB of the observed "first time starting game leaks more than
subsequent starts" are due to the fact that Plugins were loaded (and stay loaded).
This can be observed by opening all config dialogs (GFX, DSP, Pad and Wiimote).
Starting the game afterwards should show rather constant increase in memory use.

D3D is still pretty good leaking memory, OGL seams okay:

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th stopping of a wii game in a row (before i stopped the game
for the 5th time, i went into the menu, getting some music and some shader stuff
going on, all other stos were after around 10 seconds @wiimote disclaimer)
D3d OpenAL: 32mb, 20mb, 17mb, 20mb, 28mb (sound/shader)
D3d DSound: 33mb, 22mb, 20mb, 22mb, 32mb (sound/shader)

OGL OpenAL : 21mb, 1~mb, <1mb, 1~mb, <1mb, (sound/shader)
OGL DSound: 21mb, 1~mb, 0mb, <1mb, <1mb (sound/shader)

I did some more debugging and found out that the shader cache is causing a big part
of the memory leak under D3D. With empty shader cache we just leak around 17mb on the
first stop and just around 10mb on the second stopping, compared to 33mb and 22mb
with a good filled shader cache.

this is issue is partially fixed, the remaining issue is more related to the DirectX
plugin memory leak including texture leaking

current leak on stop @D3D:
D3d & OpenAL: 31mb 23mb 20mb 20mb 30mb (sound/shader)
D3d & DSound: 34mb 24mb 20mb 20mb 32mb (sound/shader)

and current leakage when u delete your shadercachefiles(BIG IMPROVEMENT!):

D3D & D3ound: 5mb~ 200kb~ 64kb~ 152kb~ 100kb~ (sound/shader)

any news on that one?
anyone figured what we do different between stop and the shadercachefile?
