[DUG] D2006 and Memory

[Kyley Harris]

I have been noticing something similar in Delphi 7 along the following
lines.

 

Open Delphi. 

Open Project. 

Memory at around 45mb

Compile Project

Memory at 110 mb.

Run and debug project

Memory at 130mb

 

If I continue for a number of hours it reached up to near 200mb ram, &
nearly 400mb or virtual ram. The more I compile the more it creeps up.
It could be a 3rd party installed package leaking everytime a compile is
done for all I know. Most of it I am guessing is in memory symbol info
etc doing god knows what. It doesn't seem to get much bigger that that
200mb peak though

I have just had another of my "Windows is increasing the size of the
page file and requests for memory may be refused......"

 

Windows XP SP2 and D2006 Memory=784MB.  Sysinternals showed the total
memory in use to be 1.1gb of which when I closed BDS dropped to 476MB.

 

The project has 3 forms, of minor size, one code unit which is 4000
lines, and Rave reports (RVSystem), so it is not big, although a couple
of fair size units.

During the day I had closed it and reopened another larger program a
couple of times, but at the time the memory ran out had been using just
this program for a couple of hours.  I had been watching the total
memory in use on and off and it increased from 700MB to 1.1GB in about
an hour.

 

I had been doing browsing also at the same time (multiple tabs opening
and closing), and up to now I had been suspecting it was Firefox, which
does have known memory leak issues, but I have instead been using Opera
the last few days to try to rule that out.

 

On closing BDS and reopening the same project the BDS memory in use is
now 41MB (Peak working set size 111MB).

 

Is there some serious memory issue in BDS?
