Fix resource stream for collectible assemblies#22925
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The GetManifestResourceStream was returning a stream that didn't keep the underlying assembly alive. For collectible assemblies, that means that an assembly could be collected and the stream still kept, potentially reading garbage. The fix is to create a new stream type that stores a reference to the underlying assembly, thus ensuring the proper lifetime management.

What about releasing the reference on explicit Dispose?

Explicit Dispose does not guarantee that nobody is accessing the memory anymore

fair enough, it'd have to invalidate the object state (maybe v2)

The GetManifestResourceStream was returning a stream that didn't keep
the underlying assembly alive. For collectible assemblies, that means
that an assembly could be collected and the stream still kept,
potentially reading garbage.
The fix is to create a new stream type that stores a reference to the
underlying assembly, thus ensuring the proper lifetime management.
I have also added a regression test that checks that the stream keeps the underlying assembly alive and it also checks that once the stream reference is gone, the assembly is collected.
