Pull request overview
Fixes a managed memory leak in Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Shapes.PathFigure caused by strong event subscriptions from Segments (and its segments) back to the PathFigure, and adds focused unit/regression tests to validate leak prevention and correct subscription semantics.
Changes:
- Replaced strong
CollectionChanged/PropertyChangedsubscriptions with MAUI weak-event proxies inPathFigure. - Added per-segment occurrence proxy tracking to preserve duplicate-segment semantics and properly clean up on Clear/Reset.
- Added new
PathFigureMemoryLeakTestscovering shared-collection retention, duplicate occurrences, Clear invalidation behavior, and segment collection after Clear.

Issue: #36377 - PathFigure retained by shared PathSegmentCollection event subscriptions
PR: #36547 - PathFigure memory leak fix
Platforms Affected: all platforms; testing requested for android, but the changed path is platform-neutral Controls code
Files Changed: 8 implementation/API baseline, 1 test
Key Findings
- GitHub CLI is unauthenticated in this environment, so live PR/issue metadata, comments, and checks could not be queried. Context was gathered from the checked-out PR branch (
pr-review-36547) and local diff againstorigin/main. - The PR changes
PathFigureevent subscription lifetime forSegments.CollectionChangedand segmentPropertyChangedto prevent a long-lived/sharedPathSegmentCollectionor segment from strongly retaining a transientPathFigure. - The PR includes focused unit coverage for shared collection retention, duplicate segment occurrence subscriptions,
Clear()unsubscribe behavior, and removed segment collection. - The PR's current fix adds
PathFigure.~PathFigure()entries to all ControlsPublicAPI.Unshipped.txtfiles. Code review found these entries build-blocking becausePathFigureis sealed and the finalizer is not public API.

🔬 Code Review — Deep Analysis
Code Review — PR #36547
Independent Assessment
What this changes: Converts PathFigure segment collection/segment event subscriptions to weak proxy subscriptions and adds memory-leak/unit coverage.
Inferred motivation: Prevent shared/long-lived PathSegmentCollection or PathSegment instances from strongly rooting transient PathFigure instances.
Reconciliation with PR Narrative
Author claims: Fixes #36377 by replacing strong event subscriptions with weak proxies, adding a finalizer cleanup path and focused tests.
Agreement/disagreement: Matches the code. However, the PR’s claim that the finalizer is “tracked as an API-surface change” is incorrect for this sealed type; the added PublicAPI entries break the analyzer build.
Prior Review Reconciliation
| Prior ❌ Error Finding | Source | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duplicate segment occurrences could lose subscriptions | MauiBot inline comment on PathFigure.cs:169 |
✅ Fixed | Current code uses one proxy per occurrence (PathFigure.cs:172-174) and removes only one matching proxy (PathFigure.cs:182-190); test covers this. |
Clear()/Reset retained removed segments |
MauiBot inline comment on PathFigure.cs:22 |
✅ Fixed | Current Reset path calls UnsubscribeFromPathSegments() (PathFigure.cs:134-138); test covers this. |
Blast Radius Assessment
- Runs for all instances: Yes, all
PathFigure.Segmentssubscriptions use the new weak-proxy path. - Startup impact: No direct startup path.
- Static/shared state: No new static/shared state.
CI Status
- Required-check result: unavailable;
gh pr checks --requiredfailed because GitHub CLI is unauthenticated. - Classification: undetermined.
- Action taken: confidence capped low; no LGTM possible.
Findings
❌ Error — Invalid PublicAPI entries break analyzer build
The PR adds Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Shapes.PathFigure.~PathFigure() -> void to all Controls PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt files, e.g. src/Controls/src/Core/PublicAPI/net/PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt:8.
A targeted build/test emits:
error RS0017: Symbol 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Shapes.PathFigure.~PathFigure() -> void' is part of the declared API, but is either not public or could not be found
Because PathFigure is sealed, this finalizer should not be declared in PublicAPI. Remove the added entries from all target baselines.
Failure-Mode Probing
- Shared collection outlives figure: weak collection proxy avoids rooting
PathFigure. - Duplicate segment instance: current list-based proxy model preserves one subscription per occurrence.
Clear()/Reset: current code unsubscribes all segment proxies.- Analyzer/build path: invalid PublicAPI entries fail RS0017.
Verdict: NEEDS_CHANGES
Confidence: low overall due unavailable required-check status; high confidence in the PublicAPI build error.
Summary: The leak fix approach looks sound, and prior major findings appear addressed. The invalid PublicAPI entries are a concrete build-blocking issue that must be removed before merge.

|---|---|---|---|
| maui-expert-reviewer | 2 | Yes | ConditionalWeakTable/static subscription registry keyed by collection/segment. Rejected for this loop because candidate 1 already passes and is simpler; registry adds global bookkeeping/thread-safety risk. |
Exhausted: Yes — one additional idea was identified but was materially more complex and riskier than the passing candidate, not a better fix.
Selected Fix: Candidate #1 — It passes the focused regression tests and directly fixes the PR's build-blocking PublicAPI issue while preserving duplicate segment and Reset behavior.
📝 Recommended PR Title & Description
Assessment: ✏️ Recommend updating — the current description still says the finalizer is tracked in PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt, but the winning fix removes those invalid entries; the title also uses a workflow prefix instead of the component-focused title format.

[Controls] PathFigure: Fix Segments memory leak
Recommended description
Fixes #36377
## Problem
`Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Shapes.PathFigure` subscribed its instance handlers directly to the assigned `Segments` collection's `CollectionChanged` event and to each contained segment's `PropertyChanged` event. Those strong delegates allowed a shared or long-lived `PathSegmentCollection` to retain transient figures, their binding contexts, and their owning visual trees.
Retention path:
PathSegmentCollection (shared / long-lived)
├─ CollectionChanged += figure.OnPathSegmentCollectionChanged
└─ segment.PropertyChanged += figure.OnPathSegmentPropertyChanged
└─► PathFigure
## Fix
Route both retention edges through MAUI's existing weak-event proxies:
- The collection subscription uses `WeakNotifyCollectionChangedProxy`.
- Each segment occurrence gets its own `WeakNotifyPropertyChangedProxy`, preserving duplicate collection semantics as occurrences are added or removed.
- `Clear()`/Reset unsubscribes every removed-segment proxy, while Move reuses existing occurrence subscriptions.
- A `~PathFigure()` finalizer unsubscribes all remaining proxies; because `PathFigure` is sealed, this finalizer is implementation cleanup and is not added to `PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt`.
The figure strongly retains its handlers and proxies while alive, while the proxies reference the figure only weakly. Incremental add/remove behavior, duplicate occurrences, Reset cleanup, Move subscription identity, and invalidation are preserved.
## Validation
- Without the weak-subscription fix, the shared-collection regression test fails because the collection retains the figure.
- With the fix and review follow-up, all 4 focused `PathFigureMemoryLeakTests` pass.
- The original workflow also reported all 113 neighboring Shapes/Geometry unit tests passing.
## Tests
`src/Controls/tests/Core.UnitTests/PathFigureMemoryLeakTests.cs` covers:
- `PathFigureDoesNotLeakWhenAssignedSharedSegmentCollection` - a shared collection does not retain a transient figure.
- `DuplicateSegmentsPreserveOccurrenceSubscriptions` - duplicate segments retain one invalidation subscription per remaining occurrence.
- `ClearingSegmentsUnsubscribesRemovedSegments` - cleared segments no longer invalidate the live figure.
- `ClearingSegmentsReleasesRemovedSegments` - Reset cleanup allows removed segments to be collected.
## Scope
Managed cross-platform changes in `PathFigure.cs` and focused Controls.Core unit tests. No public API surface is added.

🏁 Report — Final Recommendation
Comparative Report — PR #36547
Candidates
| Candidate | Approach | Regression/build result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
pr |
Uses WeakNotifyCollectionChangedProxy for Segments and one WeakNotifyPropertyChangedProxy per segment occurrence; adds a PathFigure finalizer and PublicAPI entries. |
❌ Failed | Functionally addresses the leak scenarios, but the added PathFigure.~PathFigure() -> void PublicAPI entries are invalid for sealed PathFigure and produce RS0017. Per ranking rules, this must rank below passing candidates. |
pr-plus-reviewer |
Same weak-proxy implementation and tests as the PR, with reviewer feedback applied by removing the invalid PublicAPI finalizer entries. | ✅ Passed | Keeps the PR's small, MAUI-conventional implementation and focused tests while fixing the build-blocking analyzer issue. Reuses existing weak-event infrastructure and follows its documented finalizer cleanup pattern. |
try-fix-1 |
Replaces the PR's weak proxies/finalizer with custom self-pruning weak subscription records and removes PublicAPI entries. | ✅ Passed | Also fixes the leak and passes focused tests. It avoids a finalizer, but does so by adding custom subscription machinery that duplicates existing MAUI weak-event infrastructure. |
Ranking
pr-plus-reviewer— best balance of correctness, minimal risk, existing MAUI conventions, and passing focused validation.try-fix-1— passing and viable, but less preferable because it introduces custom weak subscription types instead of reusing existing proxies.pr— cannot win because the gate/build failed on invalid PublicAPI entries.
Winner
pr-plus-reviewer wins. It is the submitted PR's fix with the expert reviewer's actionable feedback applied, so it preserves the intended weak-event leak fix and focused regression coverage while removing the only confirmed build blocker.

… on RS0016 The gate recompiles the MAUI product (Controls.Core, ...) from source via the unit/XAML test project's P2P references, re-running the PublicAPI analyzer under the repo-wide TreatWarningsAsErrors=true. A leak-fix PR that adds a finalizer (e.g. #36605 ~SwipeView()) surfaces RS0016/RS0017 as a build-breaking ERROR during the revert -> build -> restore -> build cycle, so the with-fix build fails to compile and the gate reports a false FAILED — even though the PR's own maui-pr build (a REQUIRED check that separately enforces PublicAPI bookkeeping) is green. Many in-flight PRs are leak fixes that add finalizers (#36575, #36566, #36547, #36531, #36526, #36521, #36513, ...), so ALL of them hit this false-FAILED. Fix: pass -p:TreatWarningsAsErrors=false to the gate's unit/XAML dotnet test and clean-rebuild-retry invocations, matching the deep stage's existing mitigation in Build-AndDeploy.ps1. The gate verifies TEST BEHAVIOR, not API bookkeeping; genuine CS-level compile ERRORS still fail the build. The UITest/device path already routes through Build-AndDeploy.ps1 and was already covered.

Rebased onto inflight/current, which already contains #35873's shared-PathSegment Clear() fix using strong CollectionChanged/PropertyChanged subscriptions — the exact mechanism #36377 reports (a shared/long-lived PathSegmentCollection roots the PathFigure). Converts those subscriptions to WeakNotifyCollectionChangedProxy / WeakNotifyPropertyChangedProxy, preserving the existing teardown behavior guarded by the PathFigure/PathSegment unit tests. Adds the required PublicAPI entry for the new ~PathFigure() finalizer (which unsubscribes the weak proxies).
