Cc [feb build] hogs memory

cc: Sun C 5.9 Linux_i386 Build40_1 2007/02/09
My machine has 1GB ram, and 2GB swap. One one source file - it goes berserk allocating all the available memory [in this example 1.6Gb - before its killed]
Mem: 1032340k total, 1019564k used, 12776k free, 600k buffers
Swap: 2096440k total, 1151580k used, 944860k free, 14572k cached

26669 balay 30 15 1629m 897m 304 D 11.6 89.0 0:27.41 iropt
So I attempt to file a bugreport with the preprocessed source file causing this behavior. However this sourcefile refuses to compile [another bug in the compiler?]

- Is this a known problem?
- If not - how should I file a bugreport?
thanks,

ok '-O' is causing the problem

This is a different behavior than when preprocessing was not used [where it just keeps allocationg memory]. I can e-mail the code that reproduces this bug.

Studio 11: cc -fast hangs on acomp when invoked via gmake and hogs memory

Hi,
i am seeing a weird issue here on Solaris 8 Sparc with Studio 11. Running ./configure with optimization CFLAGS (-fast -xnolibmopt) for libiconv 1.13 hangs on "checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99..." with acomp being the last spawned process. Trussing the acomp shows a myriad of brk()s and the process hogs memory like there is no tomorrow.
   PID USERNAME SIZE   RSS STATE PRI NICE      TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
29072 skayser   684M 670M cpu13   30    0   0:01.23 3.1% acomp/1I tried to let it run for a bit longer, after half an hour it is still there, hogging memory. On Solaris 8 x86 this configure step runs just fine. On both platforms (x86 and Sparc) there is no stdbool.h. cc complains in both cases, but on Solaris 8 x86 it simply quits, while on Solaris 8 Sparc it doesn't.
To be more precise: I can only see the issue when i let ./configure run under gmake (our build system is based on Makefiles). When i try to compile the [stdbool snippet|http://pastebin.com/m6010e35c] manually, cc returns just fine.

There is no such issue if i use /usr/ccs/bin/make instead or when i revert to -xO3 as optimization flags. Anyone seen something like this or any idea what could be wrong here? There is someone over at the OpenSolaris forums having a similar problem (" [Sun Studio 11 cc hangs when compiling|http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=209219] "), but there is no solution attached to the thread.

Hi Sebastian,
The problem looks very strange... Probably "gmake" sets some environment, that causes the problem.
You can run "gmake" under "truss", to find out what is so special there:
truss -a -e -f -o gmake.tr gmakeIt will generate file "gmake.tr", where you can find how "gmake" invokes "cc".
Then you can try to set the same environment and run "cc" manually.
This is a long way, but in many cases it helps to understand the problem.
Thanks,
Nik

Both Elements 10 and 11 have started hogging memory on my Windows 7 computer which has 8 G of memory

Elements 10 and 11 have been hogging memory on my Windows 7 computer which has 8 G of memory. How can I stop this?

The first thing to do is to go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure the auto analyzer is turned off.

Weblogic java process slowly hogging memory

My unix 'top' utility tells me that my Weblogic java process is slowly
hogging memory, over a period of hours under heavy load, until the machine
finally starts swapping and performance goes into the toilet.
I got a copy of jprobe, which I had hoped would show me that I have memory
leaks, but it said everything was fine, I could see the little graph of heap
memory getting sent back down to 10 Meg every minute or so. Then I bring up
'top' with no jprobe, and I watch "SIZE" grow to 250 Meg and I run out of
virtual memory. Anybody know what is up?
System info: Weblogic Server 5.1, sp5, Solaris 2.7, JDK 1.2.2_07.
Thanks in Advance

250M for WLS is not very much. How much physical memory is on
the machine? What do you have your heap size set to?
Use the command /usr/proc/bin/pmap to dump out the memory
segments of the JVM. You will find one of the segments labeled
'heap' this is not the Java Heap, this is the C heap. Does it
grow? If it does, do you have native code (type 2 db drivers)or
any other native code? The JVM also uses the C heap. Compiling
JSPs seems to use a lot of memory. JSPs compiled with SP9 will
use less C heap than pre-SP9.
There will be another 'anon' segement that corresponds to the
size of the max Java Heap as shown by the weblogic console.
The 'Total' should correspond to the 'size' you see in top.

Locking/Hogging memory... use PLOCK?

Let's say I have 1 GIG of memory and a memory intensive application called MEMORY_APP.
If I ran MEMORY_APP with the full 1 GIG I'd get some results. Then, as I locked more and more memory my performance would decrease.
For example, I might expect to see results something like the following...
1 GIG avail memory = 300 DB transactions / sec
750 MB avail memory = 250 DB transactions / sec
500 MB avail memory = 200 DB transactions / sec
ETC
I'm trying to find memory's effects on applications by "locking" more and more memory into a single process and running my other application under the new, stressed, conditions.
Is this the way to go? I am not seeing what I expect?

I'll try to be more clear/simple.
I want to create and application, called lock_mem, that will take an integer as an argument. The application will then HOG/STEAL/LOCK memory away from the rest of the system. That is, it will utilize memory in such a way that the machine will perform as though it actually has less memory. I'm trying to simulate a machine with less memory.
For example, if I'm running my tests on a machine with 2 GB of RAM I would, theoretically, be able to run lock_mem with a range of input values and see how that machine would perform with "less" memory installed.
If I ran 'lock_mem 250', the machine would run as if it had 1750 MB of RAM.
If I ran 'lock_mem 1000', the machine would run as if it had 1 GB of RAM.
PLOCK is supposed to lock memory for a specific application. However, when I STEAL AS MUCH MEMORY AS I CAN, I don't see a performance hit.
Ideas? Suggestions... maybe there's another way to try to do this?

Flex Builder 3 - Memory Profile Confusion!

Hello,
I'm currently working on memory leaks in a fairly large application. When I finally tracked down the issue it had to do with using BindUtils's bindProperty method. If I assigned my properties directly and manually updated them, all of the instances were relased when the garbage collector was invoked (all of this through the memory profiler in Flex Builder Pro 3).
I then build out a small little test app that simply created an ArrayCollection then using BindingUtils, bound it to the dataProvider of 20 data grids. I stored the change watches then manually called "unwatch" and finally nulled out the changeWatchers (and even went so far to manually remove the grids and null them out).
What I noticed was when I used bindingutils, the ListCollectionView objects were not released when I used BindingUtils but when I used direct assignment and removed the grids, all the ListCollectionView instances were dumped correctly.
At this point I'm not sure if I'm misinterpeting the results in the memory profiler or not. If I "unwatch" a change watcher and destroy it, should that kill and references to the target object? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I answered my own question.
In the code I was calling "unwatch" and setting the array element to null and I assumed that would cause the instances of ListCollectionView to decrease once the garbage collector was invoked. It wasn't till now that I was playing around with the code and set the array itself to null that it decreased the instances back to 0.
At least I know where some of my memory issues could be coming from in the main application as I use arrays quite a bit!

FlashPlayerPlugin_12_0_0_77.exe*32 Hogs memory and CPUs.

Firefox at 369,616 K FlashPlayerPlugin at 1,550,628 K and 51% CPU. Firefox extremely sluggish. This has been happening for about 6 months with very new release of Flash and Firefox. Makes Firefox unusable. Fix this or people will start to move to google chrome or IE

Hi gsenum,
Thank you for your statement. We appreciate you reporting on the performance. Firefox is always improving and they are tracking the flash updates and checking for vulnerabilities.[[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]] [[Firefox uses too many CPU resources - How to fix]]

Safari and Chrome Hogging Memory to Play Video

Safari and Chrome Start to hog up most of the processor. the videos start out of but after a while the proccessor jumps up to 100% then make the video out of sync with th audio. The Audio will play fine. Once it starts The Processor will cycle up and down until the video is stopped. also I noticed the when transfering any file to and from a USB Stick it takes along time now.
This is what is going on with no video playing.

QuickTime 10.1 Stops Working, Starts hogging memory before terminating!

Hi, I was using QuickTime 10.1, which came with my new iMac OS X 10.7.2, to export M4A out of M4V. After about ten exports, QT stops working and starts hogging gigabytes of RAM before terminating itself. Please advise. Thanks-

I have never tried this, but...
How to downgrade QT?
Solution
This is how you can downgrade QuickTime 7.1.6 to version 7.1.5:
1. Download Quicktime 7.1.5 installer:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime715formac.html
2. Mount the installer package. This is very important.
3. Download and install Pacifist from this location:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
4. Run Pacifist. In its dialog press the "Open Package" button. Browse for the .PKG file in the mounted package. In the appearing list Right Click on the .PKG and from the context menu choose "Install To Default Location". Please note that if you mistakenly select the unmounted .DMG file into Pacifist instead of the PKG, there will be an installation but without an effect.
5. Check in the "User Administrator Privileges" checkbox. Press Install.
6. When asked tell the installer to replace the already existing files. Do this with all the files.
7. When the install process is finished restart the computer.
8. Run the QuickTime 7.1.5 installer package again WITHOUT Pacifist and let it install the files again.
9. Restart the computer

Plugin Containers hogging memory and Adobe problems

Hi,
I have regular problems with Firefox on my notebook. Firefox memory usage shoots beyond 500MB of memory and becomes extremely slow in any of the below conditions:
1) There are updates ready for some plugins: I thought it might be because I had enabled automatic updates and had made it manual. Still the same trend continues.
2) I run any Adobe application on the browser, like open a pdf from a website, run flash video either from Youtube or any other website.
3) I open about or more than 10 tabs on a single session (typical while reading news articles from feeds)
It was very problematic with FF4, but I continue to see the same trend even with version 5. When this happens, I do not have any other option but to close all the sessions of the browser and restart. Sometimes, Firefox does not go away from memory and I have to manually kill the process from task manager. There are several instances when the processor heated up so much, the fan could not handle and the notebook shutdown automatically. This happened when I had run youtube videos and after the video ended, let the browser window open for long time.
Here is the config information of my notebook:
Toshiba Portege M900, Intel Core i5 2.4Ghz quad core, Win7, virus free, with latest CA enterprise AV running.

Additional info:
The 256-color problem depends on how ActiveX'ed beans are integrated into native (VB, C++) apps.
If the development computer is configured to 256 colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are ok.
If the development computer is configured to 16-bit colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are wrong (dithered, ugly, wrong).
This tells me that the process where the ActiveX'ed bean is serialized to the C++ application resource file, some palette information must have been serialized out as well.
Question: what possibility is there to tell the ActiveX'ed bean or beans.ocx that it should update its palette?
A windows message? To whom, the ActiveX'ed bean, some component of it (HWND?), beans.ocx or some component of it? Sth that can be done within the bean's code?

Labview data communication c borland builder ram memory

I have data generated by labview and I want it send to borland c++ builder as variable. but I dont want use the hardrive. how can I communicate with C++. the communication must be fast.
greeting paul

There are two ways to do this:
1.Pass the data value or pointer of the data that generated by LabVIEW vi to your c code using "call library function"
2. Have your C code to call LabVIEW using LabVIEW activeX server and get the data from the vi.
You can find examples in NI website, search for key words like "call external routine in LabViEW" or "call LabVIEW in C"

19 working fine, downloaded 20 - it crashes frequently, hogs memory, runs scripts and slows down internet. I don't want a fix, just reinstall 19

FF 19 was working fine. Downloaded 20 and within 5 mins. it crashed. Script running problems again and it slows down my internet connection tremendously. I don't want to fix it, I want to go back to FF 19 but can't find it - it doesn't exist Running XP SP 3. If I can't go back to FF 19, then I'll just remove it and stick with Chrome. I like the old private browser in FF 19 better. I run 20 - 40 tabs open at a time and the way the new Private browser works with the existing window open just uses more memory Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Cgpdftoraster hogging memory at startup

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I've poked and prodded in my files forever without a lot of luck. At startup, I have four programs - two "cgpdftoraster" and "hpimager" each - opening under the user "lp". I have no idea who/what lp is, nor why it's opening cgpdfraster, as I'm not printing anything at startup, and I've not printed a pdf in months.
The programs utilize about 95% of my memory until I shut them down (which takes an agonizingly long time with so little memory). Does anyone have any idea how I can make them stop?? Or even better, how to get rid of this "lp" user?
Thanks much.
- Austin

Hi ajohns90, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First, how much free space do you have on what sized drive? How Much Memory?
Are there any jobs undone in Printer box?
Or even better, how to get rid of this "lp" user?
You can't, it's what OsX uses for printing, lp = LinePrinter.
What kind f Printer? Are you using Gimp Print or Cups Drivers?
Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Is X Hogging Memory?

Is it normal for X to use a very large amount of memory? According to the readout from the top command, it is using up about 827 megabytes of virtual memory.

Actually, it seems that the KDE Desktop is the culprit! Since xrestop wouldn't let me copy and paste the output, here's a screen capture of it:

Something is hogging memory

Something is sucking resources (memory) and the colored pinwheel appears frequently.
Also, now McAfee says computer at risk, but subscription is current.
Still a newbie to the Mac World.
In M/W world, I could open task manager to see - Mac have an equivalent?
