Re: What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
Pulling the fullclipboarddata could end up doing a bit of work depending on what is on it. You would probably be better off using the rawclipboarddata to avoid LC doing any processing just so you can detect changes. Under normal circumstances, the various flavors of content will reflect the same thing. If concerned with style changes, then html may be the best one to check. If you are not, then a plain text variant would be simpler (I.e. shorter) to check.

Re: What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
update on this the memory consumption is definately to do with one of the messages that checks for changes in the clipboard every 333 milliseconds.. but does not retain what it finds. there is nothing else going on the computer and as far as i know the clipboard ISN't changingdoes the system make changes to the clipboard even if ctrl c is not used? .. .I use the "fullclipboard" data function to identify a change by comparing it to the last known array from the fullcllipboarddata is there a faster way of detecting a change in clipboard??, but have full data when i do detect it? the fullclipboard data has been a little buggy.and i have some bug reports to make. but its probably partly me doing it me doing it wrong.

Re: What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
It may help to put a wait x milliseconds with messages in the repeat loop. This will give the engine a chance to do housecleaning.

Re: What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
Is it possible that multiple overlapping messages are being spawned? You mention that the checks happen every 250ms... are you doing a send in time at the end of the check or at the start?

Re: What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
So i've been watching this running standalone a while and it seems to have stopped for now...I'm going to keep it running and see how high up it gets. Its like the engine is caching system events or something I'll post again in a few hours to see if its gotten any higher than this.

What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?
Hi folks, I have a stack that has 2 or 3 self perpetuating messages which do a few checks and the likethey run every 250 milliseconds or so. There is no input data into the program unless I specifically send it there. but while my program is sitting there repeating its loops and checks for incoming input .. the memory consumption is steadily going up by .1 megabytes at a time. I have watched my global variables , there is nothing being added to them and most handlers have local variables that clear out when the handler finishes. This happens in IDE and standalone. This app is made to stay in memory so this is not acceptable, because after 2 days it will get up to 2gb or whateverso i cannot let this remain. maybe if i let it sit there it will eventually clear out ..but i haven't seen that happen yet. I just don't know where to look. maybe i just found a memory leak Thanks for any input ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
