Hi Zoran,
would you mind putting this in your nscp session and observe the
virtual
memory usage (e.g. with the top utility) in a separate window?
time {set t [ns_thread begin "set a 1"]; ns_thread join $t}
10000
I start with about 45MB server (startup) and end with 600MB after the
test!
SuSE 2.6.8-24.11-default; tcl8.4.9
Compiled fresh checkout version. Virtual memory starts with
about 7MB and ends with 461MB.
Wonderful. I mean, absolute shit!
Hence, there are two possibilities:
a. scrap the threaded allocator
b. fix the threaded allocator
I will try the b. first. Stephen, if you can confirm that
between 8.4.6 and 8.4.9 the leak start to raise its ugly
head, the work to fix that will be much less. Otherwise
I must prepare myself for several days electronic archeology.
Zoran
