Greetings.

Digital Mars D Compiler v1.046

And I have a program that reads a file into UTF8 and does a
series of string handling to create reports using an Associative
Array of Arrays. Then reads another file and does the same thing
to each file and creates a report based on word usage, etc. The
problem is that the program is not releasing the memory. Imagine
this program:
//start
class TUCount
{
int[char[]] File;
char[][char[]] Target;
int Count;
}
void ConsistencyCheck(char[] dir)
{
TUCount[char[]] aTUs;
char[][] allfiles = std.file.listdir(dir,"*.txt");
aTUs = GrabUnits(allfiles);
PrepareReport(aTUs);
}
TUCount[char[]] GrabUnits(char[][] allfiles)
{
TUCount[char[]] aTUs;
foreach (char[] f;allfiles)
{
char[] wText = "";
wText = ReadFileData2UTF8(f, bom); //comes from another
library and not in this file
//<--Out of memory is
happening in here...
while (wText.length > 0)
{
// lots of some text handling and update aTUs base on text
}
}
}
void main
{
char[] dir = r"C:\temp\LotsOfTextFiles";
ConsistencyCheck(dir);
}
//end
The out of memory is happening in the ReadFileData2UTF function.
All that function does is to read the BOM and read the whole file
into a variable and returns the UTF8 encoded string. The problem
is that apparently, it is reading the files and keeping that data
there and never releasing it. The taskmanager just keeps on
growing and growing, etc. I know that the aTUs content, which is
being used to keep track of words, etc., is really low on memory
usage, and it is not the cause of the huge amount of memory shown
by the taskmanager. I have 4G on a Win7 x32. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.
