public class Leak {
  public void callMe() {
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
    Leak leak = new Leak();
    
    while(true) {
      MethodHandles.Lookup lookup = MethodHandles.lookup();
      MethodType mt = MethodType.fromMethodDescriptorString("()V", Leak.class.getClassLoader());
      // findSpecial leaks some native mem
      MethodHandle mh = lookup.findSpecial(Leak.class, "callMe", mt, Leak.class);
      mh.invokeExact(leak);
    }
  }
}
