There is loads of 'passing the pointer being done'. How rare are systems without REGEX_MAY_ALLOC? I suspect this case is exercised less. However it migth well be that the particular rexexp ist just never GCed. A few of the other ones seem to be in the image code, that is pretty new. Jan

Should 'package-*' install into user dir and other questions? 26 years, 3 months

Jan Vroonhof

I guess this got overlooked as everybody here is is own 'sysadmin' Isn't joe user supposed to be able to fetch packages he needs himself and put them ~/.xemacs. 1. Shouldn't there be a variable package-admin-install-site-wide defaulting to nil if non-root? 1a. Shouldn't the package-* command always prompt for the path, default depending on the value package-admin-install-site-wide 2. Shouldn't the package code put mule packages in mule packages and on request other packages in site-packages? 3. Shouldn't package-get-update-all respect the previous location of the package if possible. 4. Wasn't add_binary_package suppossed to be in lisp now? 5. Shouldn't add_binary_package delete the old version even in 21.0? Jan

How do I verify that gc is doing anything 26 years, 3 months

Andy Piper

If I start gnus using movemail to read my mail my xemacs image size grows from about 8Mb to 20-30Mb (this is with a fixed cygwin from Chris Faylor). If I quit gnus the memory usage does not go down at all. Is this what people would expect? What does it look like on a UNIX machine? I'm just wondering whether GC is actually collecting anything and how I prove whether it is. andy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " .sigs are like your face - rarely seen by you and uglier than you think" Dr Andy Piper, Technical Architect, Parallax Solutions Ltd mail: andyp(a)parallax.co.uk web: www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp

Well, some time back, I ran purify on "Erzgeberg-pre1", and purify complained about numerous (and large!) memory leaks. However, I haven't had the time to verify that these really are memory leaks (as purify is being run on temacs, and not the dumped xemacs). I've attached a few instances of the larger memory leaks; perhaps someone could look into them. Note that this was under HP-UX 10.20, and not under cygwin. These memory leaks, if real, probably exist on most (all?) platforms. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

Hi Jareth, me too! :-) I can reproduce it by starting XEmacs and then going to the default Page of W3 (William Perry's page in Indiana). There is a JPEG which causes this. BTW: this is also solaris2.6 I put a breakpoint at object-x.c:199 and had a look at color_def and cells[nearest] : *color_def = { pixel = 55U red = 55512U green = 53713U blue = 50886U flags = '\007' pad = 'û' } cells[20] = { pixel = 20U red = 55512U green = 53713U blue = 50886U flags = '\007' pad = ')' } I have no idea why XAllocColor() fails, but it DOES happen :-) If you'd like any further info, drop me a mail.

On some systems (most unix systems that support mmap for instance) XEmacs does give the memmory from deleted buffers back. Maybe on your system it doesn't. What allocator does XEmacs use on cygwin?

You're right -- tm-mh-e.el does need to be fixed (I've got it fixed in my local copy, but it seems that I've never submitted it).

Here I've started `gnus', read a few articles, quit `gnus', looked at some jpegs with `v' from `dired', and along the way checked the memory footprint. It shows SIZE and RSS going up and down, so memory is being malloc()'d and free()'d for certian. (Linux 2.0.35) If I visit a very large file, then kill the buffer it was in, the SIZE goes up then down by a significant amount. karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7694 236880 3488 16156 19644 0 19644 3912 0 3932 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7849 237210 3488 16352 19840 0 19840 3912 0 3981 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7866 238584 3488 16608 20096 0 20096 3912 0 4045 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7881 240715 3488 16372 19860 0 19860 3912 0 3986 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7925 244613 3488 16544 20032 0 20032 3912 0 4029 xemacs -f gnuserv-start You have new mail. karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 7950 245854 3488 16440 19928 0 19928 3912 0 4003 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 8032 247203 3488 17268 20756 0 20756 3912 0 4210 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ % ps wmax | pgrep 'RSS|[x]emacs ' PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 11844 ? 8032 247337 3488 16616 20104 0 20104 3912 0 4047 xemacs -f gnuserv-start karlheg＠bittersweet:~ %
