Please excuse any errors; mailing lists are confusing. While wrapping up work on a system that includes 5 custom icenodes, I noticed that memory usage was increasing by about 1mb per second during playback.
I eventually narrowed it down to a per-point-array node, the only single-threaded node in the setup. In a test scene I have it reading about 30 turbulized mesh point positions and spitting them into a single per-object array, and after leaving it for 15-30 minutes a while memory usage had increased from 400mb to 1.5gb. It is not released until the program is closed. Being at loss as to what might be causing it I removed everything but the absolute necessary pieces of the code (port declarations etc), only to find that the problem persisted. Next I created a new icenode using the wizard, adding one input and one output port with the default settings, and setting it to single threaded. This also slowly increases memory consumption when executed. Using an 8x8x8 grid as input it increases memory usage by about 150kb per second. If the input is singular (object context) there is no perceivable increase in memory usage. The rate of increase appears to be relative to the number of input components. I primarily use Softimage 2011, but running it in the 2014 trial produces the same result. Were it a legitimate bug it would seem unlikely that it would persist for so long. Could anyone shed some light on what is going on here? Is this normal? Thanks
