leakhunt/tools/physobj_owner_inspect.py
acbot 57b5e43d0e Initial commit — leak-hunt project complete
Five bugs identified and patched in retail Asheron's Call client:
- v3b: palette refcount over-increment (3-byte NOP at two sites)
- v5: RenderSurface PurgeResource no-op stub (vtable slot 2 thunk)
- v11: two dangling-pointer crash guards (NULL-check + reorder)
- v14: CEnvCell::Destroy ClipPlaneList leak (18-byte JMP to cleanup thunk)
- v22: unpacker stale-pointer SEH guard (whole-function __try/__except)

All five ship in leakfix.dll (117 KB, SHA d282f23c…) which is loaded
by acclient.exe at process start via PE import table patching by
tools/install_leakfix.py.

Controlled 15-client fleet soak: unpatched control died at 26h with
palette exhaustion; all 14 patched clients survived past that point
and reached ≥5-day uptime.

Residual ~15 MB/h growth traced to d3d9.dll's internal slab allocator
(260KB surface backing buffers retained after Release). See REPORT.md
§10 for the full investigation; conclusion is that it's unfixable from
outside d3d9.

"""physobj_owner_inspect.py <dump.dmp> <owner_vtable>
For a specific owner vtable, find all instances and report:
- distinct instance count
- typical instance footprint (count of physobj pointers per instance, max field offset)
- histogram of physobj-field offsets within the owner
