Hi, All

I have a legacy ASP application, which is full of memory leaks. The source
of the leaks are ADO objects that were not closed.
For exapmle "Open" recordset without "Close" and so on.

As the application is rather big, manually parsing asp code is rather
painfully.

Are there any asp code parsing tools, to analyze the source code?

TIA

Not sure but objects are defined with the word 'set'. So it shouldn't be
that hard to find them.

Yes, that is not too difficult.
Also when you call Open for the recordset object and do not call Close it is
the source of mem leaks.

So to detect the mem leak I have to debug the page under different
conditions, it takes time. That is why I posted this message, about code
analyzers...

You could roll your own. Using FSO, you could read the files and search
for ".Open". If ".Open" was found, then search for ".Close". If ".Close"
was not found, then you could find the name of the recordset using MID
function, and then write to the document. Just a thought, not tested.

At first I thought of something like injecting additional code
after the "Set", "Open", "Close" statements
the code would be something like

Server.Execute("report.asp?page=test.asp&line=34&v ar=rs&action=open")

and on report.asp gather the statistics. It will be like obtaining dynamic
call stack of the page.

We can parse an asp file statically, but we shall not be able to reproduce
dynamic behavior ( conditions based on some values and so on )
