There is a memory leak in the evaluation of multivariable polynomials: -C.<x,y,z>=GF(2)[] -f=x^4+x*y^3+z^6
-get_memory_usage() .....1014.47265625 - for i in xrange(1000000): a=f(1,0,0) -get_memory_usage() .....1052.47265625 I think the problem is in the implementation of the __call__ method in rings/polynomials/multi_polynomial_element.py . It has: def __call__(self,*x,**kwds): [...] try: K = x[0].parent() except AttributeError: K = self.parent().base_ring() y = K(0) for (m,c) in self.element().dict().iteritems(): y += c*misc.mul([ x[i]**m[i] for i in range(n) if m[i] != 0]) return y So in every loop a new ring K is created and saved -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
