Netty 4.1.17 leak detector w/o detail - memory-leaks

Trying to upgrade a code to use Netty 4.1.17, a leak error is sometimes raised by ResourceLeakDetector:
17:18:12.589 ERROR [s.n.u.ResourceLeakDetector] :: LEAK: ByteBuf.release() was not called before it's garbage-collected. See http://netty.io/wiki/reference-counted-objects.html for more information.
Recent access records:
[info] My debug
After Recent access records: there is no detail about where the leak has been detected, so that's hard to figure out the cause.
The detection level is set to PARANOID using -Dio.netty.leakDetection.level=paranoid (the property is found at test runtime).
Any idea how to get more info?

Memory Leak detection in Lazarus - again

I am using Lazarus 2.0.4 on Windows 10.
Trying to track memory leaks in a quite large project I tried to familiarize myself with the heaptrc and lineinfo units/compiler switches -gh and -gl.
While this gives me some information that there is a leak somewhere, I could not figure out how to pinpoint the exact location. I put together this quite basic leaking code which will leak 4 bytes every time the button is pressed. Upon exit of the program I get this:
While from the trace I see that there is a 4 byte memory leak, I cannot see any useful reference where to look for the leaking code. I see that the code was within the click handler of a TButton, but this isn't very useful, since there may be many Buttons.
Any way to get a reference to the exact location (line 42)?

GOOGLE DEVELOPER TOOLS - MEMORY LEAK TRACING

I’ve been trying to trace memory leaks in a hybrid-app built using ionic. I tried using the Google’s developer tools for the same. When i perform heap dump and try tracing any Constructor value, I get there is a Detached DOM tree is present but when i expand the same and view the origin in Objects in the Retainers tab, I’m not able to find which file the variable is located. With this I’m able to say that there is a memory leakage but not the file where it is located. Is there any way to find the file in which the variable or the array causing the leakage is present.
In below picture, I'm not finding a way as to how to trace the file of the memory leak present:

Crash in ID3DXConstantTable SetFloat/SetVector

We have a application with a render engine developed in Direct3d/C++. Recently we have come across a crash( access violation) involving ID3DXConstantTable SetFloat/SetVector and shows inside D3dx9_42.dll when we attached a debugger in release binaries with PDBs. One of the ways this crash vanishes when we reduce the number of D3dPOOL Rendertarget textures which are used but from estimating the GPU memory load its no where close to even half of the total available as we are using 3GB NVIDIA cards.
Suspected it to be some heap corruptions due to memory overwrites we went about code checking and following that we used the Application Verifier along with a debugger to root out of memory overwrites which might crash at a later stage of running.. We came across few issues which we ironed out. But still that crash remains at the very first frame render ID3DXConstantTable SetFloat/SetVector . More info :This is 32 bit application running with LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag. Any pointers ?
Well a moment later only i found out the issue I executed the application with the registry switch MEM_TOP_DOWN(AllocationPreference=0x100000) and it instantly crashed at the first setfloat() location.Then goto to know the constant table had to be retrieved using D3DXGetShaderConstantTableEx() with the D3DXCONSTTABLE_LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag :) Thanks

Where could I find the oops info from kernel logs

I am a newer of driver development. I have configured my linux kernel according to the Linux Device Driver chaper 4, enabled a lot of debug configuration. When I try to test a driver written by me, the kernel issues an oops. This oops, however, immediately flushed by chunks of other debug information. So, where could I find out the oops info which occurred in a flash.
By the way, can anyone explain the meaning of debug information below?
[ 1698.129712] evbug: Event. Dev: input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0
This type of message flushed by screen and I even can't stop them.
To avoid a lot of useless information (in your case) you have to enable only and only what you really need to debug your module. I highly recommend to disable everything you enabled back. Then case-by-case you may enable debug features.
Next, there is a nice framework in kernel called Dynamic Debug. It allows at runtime enable or disable certain debug messages (be sure you have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y in the Linux kernel configuration). More detailed description is available in Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt.
evbug is a module to monitor input events in the kernel. There is one of the message it can issue. It's very simple one you may check at drivers/input/evbug.c. Unfortunately, it uses printk() calls directly and you can't manipulate its output through dynamic debug.
At the end the answer to your topic question is check output of dmesg command. But be aware that the kernel buffer for output is small enough and if you have a lot of logs you may miss some of them.

memory leaks in Microsoft.FSharp.Control.Mailbox?

I'm hunting for some memory-leaks in a long runing service (using F#) right now.
The only "strange" thing I've seen so far is the following:
I use a MailboxProcessor in a subsystem with an algebraic-datatype named QueueChannelCommands (more or less a bunch of Add/Get commands - some with AsyncReplyChannels attached)
when I profile the service (using Ants Memory Profiler) I see instances of arrays of mentioned type (most having lenght 4, but growing) - all empty (null) whose references seems to be held by Control.Mailbox:
I cannot see any reason in my code for this behaviour (your standard code you can find in every Mailbox-example out there - just a loop with a let! = receive and a match to follow ended with a return! loop()
Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before or even knows how to handle this?
Or is this even a (known) bug?
Update: the growing of the arrays is really strange - seems like there is additional space appended without beeing used properly:
I am not a F# expert by any means but maybe you can look at the first answer in this thread:
Does Async.StartChild have a memory leak?
The first reply mentions a tutorial for memory profiling on the following page:
http://moiraesoftware.com/blog/2011/12/11/fixing-a-hole/
But they mention this open source version of F#
https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/master/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/control.fs
And I am not sure it is what you are looking for (about this open source version of F# in the last point), but maybe it can help you to find the source of the leak or prove that it is actually leaking memory.
Hope that helps somehow maybe ?

.NET has its own garbage collector, which works quite nicely.
The most common way to cause memory leaks in .NET technologies is by setting up delegates, and not removing them on object deconstructors.
