I feel Google protobuff is also using a memory pool internally.(placement NEW maybe) so once we clear(), it assigns the same memory to a new object. We analyzed the memory usage in smaps and observed that after reaching a particular memory threshold it doesn't increase further.
I am curious is there a way to reduce this threshold maybe? Or some other way to delete the memory. Actually we have a multithreaded application. Each thread useses protobuff object to serialize the data. So we cant wait for one thread to complete its clear(). All this have to be done simultaneously. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
