Process pipes aren't garbage collected
General
When using redirection for StandardOutput (and possibly StandardError, StandardInput as well) the pipes aren't garbage collected when the Process reference is collected.
The following silly piece of code lives (probably) forever in mono, but crashes in dotnet after 217 iterations on my machine:
public static void Main() {
for (int i = 0; i < int.MaxValue; i++) {
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo {
FileName = "ls",
UseShellExecute = false,
RedirectStandardOutput = true
});
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
Adding a .StandardOutput.Close() extends lifetime 5 fold, indicating other things are not being collected.
