Re: Help: Drop objects

[Chimera]

CL,

   I saw that your ws object has a "build objects" procedure.  Do you allocate memory in any form in this procedure.  I don't believe that dropping "ws" if it allocated additional memory will free that memory.  ( If I'm wrong, Marcus or someone let me know.)  Check especially for files that you open that might not have an fclose associated with them or indexes (for lists) that are created but not dropped.  The index one has been the cause of quite a few swarm "memory leaks."  Just some thoughts given that you seem to be running out of places to look for possible errors.

Best of luck tracking it down, you have my empathy!

Cheers,

   D3

Try this:

$ cd $SWARMSRCDIR/src/defobj
$ patch < the-file-below
$ cd $SWARMBUILDDIR/src/defobj
$ make install

(then re-link your application)

diff -c -r1.11 Zone.m
*** Zone.m      1998/06/25 05:32:06     1.11
--- Zone.m      1998/08/07 22:17:06
***************
*** 427,432 ****
--- 427,433 ----
        [index prev];
        mapAlloc (mapalloc, member);
      }
+   [index drop];

    // map components of the zone itself

 Thanks for your help. I tried it out, but the bug still exists.  The app runs and I can watch the used memory  growing.  When no resources are left the application aborts.
