Memory leak with large files and this code?
Okay, so the following code will not complete.
Basically what I am doing is opening 5 files and generating a PDF document from the already opened Report file, which is renewed prior to the PDF export operation. I left out the general stuff at the start. I am also writing out the location of the PDF to a HTML file, which acts as an index of the exported PDF documents.
I believe it is due to some sort of memory leak issue, but it could be something else or just my code. I have not stepped through this code, but for small file sizes of say less than 40 megs per file, it works fine. For file sizes along these lines:
File 1 = 230 megs
File 2,3 = 26 megs
File 4,5 = 8 megs
it will belch erors at the end of about the 5th iteration through the For loop. It will complete the 5th iteration however. Here are the errors generated:
84 10/26/2006 9:35:15 AM Error:

For files of a larger size, like:
File 1 = 7500 megs
File 2,3 = 80 megs

This occurs after about 2-3 iterations through the loop.

[Bug?] X-Control Memory Leak with Large Data Array
[LV2009]
[Cross-posted to LAVA]
I have found that if I pass a large data array (~4MB in this example) into an X-Control, it causes massive memory allocations (1 GB+).
Is this a known issue?
The X-Control in the video was created, then the Data.ctl was changed to 2D Array - it has not been edited in any other way.
I also compare the allocations to that of a native 2D Array (which is only ~4MB).
Note: I jiggled the Windows Task Manager about so that JING would update correctly, its a bit slow, but it essentially just keeps rolling up and doesn't stop.
Demo code attached.
Cheers

X Control Bug [LV2009].zip 42 KBHi Jon (cool name)
Thank you very much for your reply. We came to this conclusion in the cross post and it is good to have it confirmed by LabVIEW R&D. Your response is also similar to that of my AE which I got this morning as well - see below:
Note: Your reference number is included in the Subject field of this
message. It is very important that you do not remove or modify this
reference number, or your message may be returned to you.
Hi Jon,
You probably found some information from the forum. The US engineer has gotten back and he said that unfortunately that's expected behaviour after they have conducted some tests and this is what he replied:
"X Controls in the background use events structures. In particular the Data Change Event is called when the value of the XControl changes (writing to the terminal, local variable, or value change property). What is happening in this case is the XControl is getting called to fast with a large set of data that the event structure is queuing the events and data that a memory leak is produced. It is, unfortunately, expect behavior. The main work around for the customer in this case is not call the XControl as often. Another possibility is to use the Synchronous Display Property to defer updates to the Xcontrol, this might slow down a leak."
He would also like to know if you can provide with more details how you are using the Xcontrol, perhaps there is a better way. Please refer to the link below for synchronous display. Thank you.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvprop/control_synchronous_display/
In my application I updated the X-Control @ 1Hz and it allocated at MBs/s up to 1+GB before it crashed, all within a few hours. That is why I called it a leak. I am really worried that if this CAR gets killed, there will still be an issue lingering that makes using X-Controls a major problem under the above conditions. I have had to pull two sets of libraries from my code because of this - when they got replaced with native LabVIEW controls the leak when away (but I lost reuse and encapsulation etc...).
Anyways, I really want to use X-Control tho (now and in the future) as I like all other aspect of them. If you do not consider this a leak, can a different #CAR be raised that may modify the existing behavior? I offer the suggestion (in the cross-post) that the data be ignored rather than queued? Similar to Christian's idea, but for X-Controls. Maybe as an option?
I look forward to discussing this with you further.
Regards

How can i detect "Memory leak" with large LabVIEW projects.
Hi,
I have a huge LabVIEW application that runs out of memory after running continuously for some time. I am not able to find out the VI that is hogging up memory. Is there any tool that dynamically detects the VI that is leaking memory.
Or, is there a tool or a way to identify the critical areas which can be potential culprits that is leaking memory.
Regards

I think Desktop Execution toolkit should solve the problem.
Wayne Wrote
Have you tried Tools»Profile»Performance and Memory ? http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvdialog/profile/
But this will just give me the amount of memory used by the VIs and not the amount of memory that is not getting released.
And where is the problem about that? Just try to find what VIs keep increasing in memory size. That are the culprits. If you have real memory leaks, meaning there is memory that is not managed by LabVIEW directly but for instance by a DLL somewhere and that DLL looses references to memory, so it goes really lost, then the only way to find that is by successively exclude functionality in your application until you can find the culprit.
There is no other simple way to find out about who is loosing memory references than by doing debugging by exclusion until the problem disappears. The only way to speed this up, which quite often works for me is doing an educated guess, about what components are most likely to do this misbehaviour.
Not knowing anything about your application and if you are talking about memory hogs (fairly easily identifiable by the mentioned Performance and Memory monitor) or actual memory leaks, it is hard to tell how to go about it. Memory hogs are usually the first thing I suspect escpecially with software I inherit somehow from people from whom I'm not sure they know all the ins and outs of LabVIEW programming.
If a leak seems likely the first culprit usually are custom DLLs (yes even DLLs I have written myself), then NI DLLs such as DAQmx, etc. and last there come leaks in LabVIEW itself. This last category is very seldom but it has happened to me. However before going to scream about LabVIEW having a memory leak you really, really should make sure you have very intensivly researched all the other possibilities. The chance that you run into a memory leak in LabVIEW, while not impossible, is so small compared to the other ways of causing either a memory hog or running into a leak in an external component to LabVIEW, that in 99.9% of the cases where someone screams about a LabVIEW memory leak, he is simply wrong.

Lag with large brushes and files
I typically work with large files around 10000 pixels, 300 dpi. But I'm getting a lot of lag when I use brushes larger than 1000 px as well as a long wait to open and save the files.
Is this a RAM issue?
Here are my specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Manufacturer Alienware
System Model M18xR1
System Type x64-based PC

Available Physical Memory 4.43 GB
Total Virtual Memory 16.0 GB
Available Virtual Memory 11.2 GB

And two GPUs: NIVIDIA Geforce GTX 460m
I'm upgrading my RAM and GPU soon anyway but wanted to check and make sure it wasnt some other underlying problem?I'm having some trouble deciphering what is going on here. I'm useing Paul Tuersley's response as a starting point. Here is my modification not that it matters since it isn't working at the moment. I don't actually know what some of the script is doing. Right now "theFiles" is returning all of the files that are not real files, folders and .DS_Store when I want it to be an array of all of the files in the folder.
Could you help me break it down?
// Log the selected footage
var selectedFiles = app.project.selection;
// Choose the folder to scan
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select folder.");
if(theFolder != null){
var resultArray = new Array();
folderFiles = checkForFiles(theFolder, "");
$.writeln(resultArray.toString().replace(new RegExp(",", "g"), ""));
// Compare selected files to files in the folder
for (var i = 0; i < selectedFiles.length; i++){
compareFiles (selectedFiles[i], folderFiles);
function compareFiles(file, folderFiles) {
for (var i = 0; i < folderFiles.length; i++){

Hello,
According to the error message, it should be a Windows issue.
Try OWA and see if we can send/receive email properly. If OWA works fine, I suggest we post this question to Windows 7 Forum below:

It seems there is a memory leak with JPopupMenu. The following program demonstrates this leak. If you run the program, click on show form, and then close the form, the used memory will be GCd appropriately. If you click on show form, then right click on the table to show the popup (even if you dont do anything else with the popup) then close the form, it never GCs the form. I've tried all kinds of crazy things, but I cant seem to find what is keeping the memory from being GCd.

Looks like BasicPopupMenuUI doesn't remove a reference to the JRootPane immediately. As far as I can see it will be removed when another menu shows.
As a hackish workaround you can try this in you FrmReferrals#uninit():
for(ChangeListener listener : MenuSelectionManager.defaultManager().getChangeListeners()) {
if (listener.getClass().getName().contains("MenuKeyboardHelper")) {
try {
Field field = listener.getClass().getDeclaredField("menuInputMap");
field.setAccessible(true);
field.set(listener, null);
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignored
break;
}Funnily enough though it isn't there when I reduce your code to a SSCCE:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

Memory leaks with Third party classes
Hello all,
This is fairly known problem. But I guess, my problem gives a new dimention to the problem.
I have an application which is developed by me. This application ideally needed to use third party classes ( obviously no source code is supplied ). These third party classes provide extra functionality required.
The problem is, when I don't use third party classes in my application, every thing is fine. When I include third party classes, I am having memory leaks.
Then I tried to investigate memory leaks with Optimizeit tool. It is new to me. As of now, I understood, we can identify where the memory leaks are occuring.
finally the problem is, in order to solve this, I need some patches in the code. But I don't have source code for those classes. How to solve this problem?
For example,
I use a third party classes in my code like this,
ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass obj = new ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass();
This 'obj' is made static, as it takes lot of time to create this object. Obviously this object contains several references to other objects, which I can't control.
In the process of reusing this object, I am getting memory leaks.
Any ideas regarding, how one has to deal this type of situations? What are the issues involved with this case? Are there any similar problems, which have been solved? are most welcome.
many thanks for your time.
MadhavDecompile it using jad. Find leak.Yes, I too got the idea and tried to decompile those classes and recompile. I had some problems while recompiling. Is this is the only way to get rid of this problem?
I was refering to powersoft.datawindow.DataStore class. Does any body here has worked on these?
Can you suggest me how to find the memory leak causes? if you were needed to find out memory leak causes, what would be your approach?

Photoshop CS6 keeps freezing when I work with large files
I've had problems with Photoshop CS6 freezing on me and giving me RAM and Scratch Disk alerts/warnings ever since I upgraded to Windows 8. This usually only happens when I work with large files, however once I work with a large file, I can't seem to work with any file at all that day. Today however I have received my first error in which Photoshop says that it has stopped working. I thought that if I post this event info about the error, it might be of some help to someone to try to help me. The log info is as follows:

[SOLVED] Big Memory Leak with Pacman - Xterm - Openbox
Hi Everyone,
I Don't know if this is the place to post this, and if not please correct me.
I've installed Arch Linux in a virtual machine HDD using VirtualBox on Linux Mint. Then I made a simple install with openbox and slim just to make some testes before putting the all thing in my laptop.
So after installing slim and openbox, i've checked free -m and he noticed me that the system was using 80mb of ram (really cool ^^). Then I start installing some apps just for test.
I start installing libreoffice like this "sudo pacman -S libreoffice", in a xterm terminal and on another xterm terminal I had the fallowing command running "watch free -m" just to see the ram usage evolution...
And then, during downloading/instalations, things became wierd... during download the ram usage start to grow up to 120mb and during instalation the ram usage start's growing more and more, to finish at 770mb !
I doesn't make any sense ! But I don't really know if this is a pacman, openbox or xterm problem :S...
Can someone give me any information about that ?
Thanks in advance !
PS : after a "sudo pacman -Scc" the ram drop at 633mb...

I'm sorry, I'm not making myself clear - my problem isn't the usage of Swap itself. I know that when RAM reaches its maximum, it uses Swap. I know that. And that's not what I'm "complaining" about.
Problem is - why does updating via pacman uses so much allocated RAM? I think there's a memory leak in here somewhere and that's what I was aiming at - I'm basically asking if it's just me or if this has happened to someone else and if it's really a problem or it has a simple explanation....
Well, pacman's memory usage depends on a particular package in question. Installing TexLive, for instance, takes a tremendous amount of RAM/swap compared to netcfg. Pacman does not simply copy files, but also executes scripts.
It is not true that swap is used when the RAM is full. The kernel decides which data in RAM is relevant and the irrelevant data goes to swap, even if you have 300mb of RAM still available. /proc/sys/vm/swappiness controls this logic.
In your atom netbook you have only 3mb in swap... this can not be the cause of a slowdown.
Thank you for your answer this make me understand more about the all thing ^^
I was just scared about a possibile memory leak, I didn't know that pacman.
Thanks in advance for all, I will marked it as Solved then ! -
Wpg_docload fails with "large" files
Hi people,
I have an application that allows the user to query and download files stored in an external application server that exposes its functionality via webservices. There's a lot of overhead involved:
1. The user queries the file from the application and gets a link that allows her to download the file. She clicks on it.
2. Oracle submits a request to the webservice and gets a XML response back. One of the elements of the XML response is an embedded XML document itself, and one of its elements is the file, encoded in base64.
3. The embedded XML document is extracted from the response, and the contents of the file are stored into a CLOB.
4. The CLOB is converted into a BLOB.
5. The BLOB is pushed to the client.
Problem is, it only works with "small" files, less than 50 KB. With "large" files (more than 50 KB), the user clicks on the download link and about one second later, gets a
The requested URL /apex/SCHEMA.GET_FILE was not found on this serverWhen I run the webservice outside Oracle, it works fine. I suppose it has to do with PGA/SGA tuning.
It looks a lot like the problem described at this Ask Tom question.
Here's my slightly modified code (XMLRPC_API is based on Jason Straub's excellent [Flexible Web Service API|http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/06/flexible-web-service-api.html]):

Two work-arounds for Siena when working with large files
MonaTech pointed out that Project Siena will crash when switching to the desktop or another app. I've also noticed this happening even when the monitor goes to sleep with inactivity. To be clear, this is *developing* in Siena, not after the app
you're working on has been compiled and installed.
The 'non-technical' work-around that has been successful for me is to split the screen before I switch to another app. It's not perfect but at least I can switch to another app (browser, desktop app, etc.) without losing where I'm at.
A more technical work-around is proposed in this thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c768be8f-3c85-444e-bb44-6f29abdecee7/project-siena-app-memory-issues-with-large-project-?forum=projectsiena
If you have a version of Visual Studio (that's not Express) it may do the trick for you.
FYI - In the post you'll see that Olivier responded and indicates that this is a known issue.

Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied
I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
= Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
= Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
= Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything! -
I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?
When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download. -
Problems with .ARW files and auto toning
problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the helpsorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.
