In parts I make a Clone() per Part. So For a product that I build here we have
this with -debug=memory -debug=count ( lots of data at end of mail)
The think to note form the mess below is that from
0 5 5 5 Environment.Base
0 506 2350 2350 Environment.EnvironmentClone
0 0 5228 5228 Environment.OverrideEnvironment
Parts for a speed reason, tries to clone environments as much as it can.
However given the Scons does not really have a Environment.EnvironmentClone
class, this is just a note to the debug code here that this is a cloned
environment. Since this code is a full copy ( in general) of the
Environment.Base there seems to be a lot of remove here to improve memory
usage. For example you will see stuff like:
0 291 102722 102722 parts.common.namespace
This object in Parts is just a dictionary that has some tweaks to allow us to
say stuff like:
Env['MSVC']['VERSION'] or
Env['MSVC'].VERSION
Or env.subst("${MSVC.VERSION}")
And have everything work correctly. I have to make a copy of this for every
Clone() as I don't know if someone will tweak data in it. I have not tried yet
to make a readonly version of it, so it does not get copied, but this object
like many other that might get modified are great examples of the values we
have in the environment that could be greatly reduced if we had a smarter copy
on write-ish setup. I think this would greatly simplify the Clone logic, if we
made a real EnvironmentClone object. I am not saying this is a silver bullet,
but part of a set of stuff to change. ( another item I want to tweak to get
better data on is the subst string classes in Scons. I believe these objects
may be taking more mem than needed, but I don't have any data in this run
here). Of the 1.6 GB I have before Scons start building all the code. I believe
a good chunk of that could be reduced. I don't know yet of any way for Python
to tell me how much memory an object is taking. This gets complex in the
environment object as it hold pointers to other items, but some items in it we
don't want to count, such as the fs attribute, as the points to a container of
all the file based Nodes that are known. The environment being mostly a
dictionary, by itself probably does not take a lot of mem, but set of stuff it
hold, probably does when you add it together. Given the logic is general to
copy everything, so the user can modify it safely, it seem making copies of
only the things that could be modified because the user changed it seems like a
good change to consider.
