Memory leak at eruby filetype

With vim-rails plugin loaded, vim process starts to exponencially leak memory when filetype detect command is issued on eruby buffer.

For more details see description at vim/vim#8240, an original report which is unrelated to stock Vim but vim-rails plugin instead.

Cannot reproduce. Any other common factors you can think of? Try with an otherwise stripped down config and see if the issue persists.

Step-by-step issue reproduction:

  1. ~/.vimrc contains only following single line

set nocompatible

  1. ~/.vim directory contains only pack/vendor/start subdirectory with vim-rails cloned from this github repo. No other content at all. Just this.
  2. open in fresh vim process file with the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</html>
  1. check vim process resident memory size. 21 MB in my case.
  2. issue filetype detect command many times. I did it with
:for i in range(20)
:  filetype detect
:endfor
  1. check RSS of vim process again, hope it won't yet freeze. In my case it peaked at 1,342 MB (1.3 GB!)

I'm using distribution package from Arch Linux x86_64.
Compile options it was built with can be found in following script https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/vim/trunk/PKGBUILD

Tried all of this on Vim 8.2.716 as found in Ubuntu 20.10 and RSS climbed from 21128 all the way to 22192.

Hmm, weird. I can only suggest save the file with .erb extension, then load it in vim and make sure the filetype is set to eruby. Then perform the step with repeated detection.
