Hi,
I made a macro for word completion via local dict server
and tried its stability for huge number of completions.
Following bugs were observed.
a) The macro uses calltip to show a list of completions.
In a long list (~5000 lines) lines superimposes each other.
Seems, overflowed "line counter" drops to zero
and new lines are "printed" over previous ones.
b) Creation of long lists completely hangs the system. The
cause for the hanging is described as follows.
In the following simple
string = ""
for(i=0; i<N ; i++)
string = string "\n" i
each iteration eats memory since new string is created.
On my system (1.2G memory + 800M swap) a top limit of iterations
is 19800 and string of length of 107K is created. Both memory and
swap are full and AND THEY ARE NOT FREED WHEN MACRO IS COMPLETED!
Simple estimation shows that the memory occupation corresponds to
number of created interim strings.
When all memory is occupied (N~20000 in my case) a system completely hangs.
Described bugs are observed for both NEdit-5.5 linux binary and CVS compiled
against Motif-2.2.3 run at the X-server "The X.Org Foundation 70101000"
Must I add this message to the BugsTracker?
