Ok so I've been playing with the modified webserver which runs the GC on a timer. To test it I made a little Felix program that shells out to curl 1000 times (i.e. loads the same page 1000 times).
Then I launched it from the shell in background 15 times, so we have 15,000 page requests, roughly 15 simulatenously. I also use Firefox to load some pages manually whilst this was happening. Felix webserver is FAST. Only a small delay loading pages. At the end it says actually collected 2 objects, still allocated: 24 roots, 193 objects, 17502 bytes This data is invariant. It's the same before and after. So at least according to the GC stats, the GC is working perfectly, and there's no leak. The actual process memory usage is a bit harder to monitor: I don't have a graph. But it looks reasonable stable after an initial spate of increasing. After starting, but no page loads: RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VPRVT VSIZE 584K 240K 2460K 28M 2391M After a spate of loads: 24M 244K 34M 43M 2406M Then iTerm crashed .. the webserver is more reliable .. :) I give up. I think it works, no leak. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
