Memory leak in CLR classes

问题

I have a memory leak and traced it to this field inside CLR:

Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinder.s_instance.m_semanticChecker.globalSymbolContext.GlobalSymbols.tableGlobal.dictionary

It can be viewed in debugger using this specification:

((Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.Semantics.LangCompiler)(Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinder.s_instance.m_semanticChecker)).globalSymbolContext.GlobalSymbols.tableGlobal.dictionary

During execution of application, this dictionary indefinitely grows.

Any ideas, what exactly this field is used for, and why it can grow?

UPD there is no dynamic creation of types, at least in my code

回答1:

The best answer I've found so far:
The problem happens somewhere around Excel VSTO Range.Style property (it uses dynamic data type).
Every time this piece of code

range.Style == null

runs, it makes the binder consume some more memory.
But if I rewrite this code like this

(Style)range.Style == null

then the problem disappears.
