Memory leak
gi1242 opened this issue · 9 comments
Recently I've found that after an hour or two of editing the same file (latex) the amount of memory occupied by Vim seems to grow (and eventually I have to quit it since it brings my system to a grinding halt).
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Could you isolate FastFold as the cause of the problem? As it stands, the issue is vague and no hint that this is the case.
I couldn't isolate the problem. I tried. It happens every couple of
days on long files... and I can't seem to find the trick to reproducing
it consistently enough to try and isolate the problem.
A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking.
I hope you're reluctant to run Vim without FastFold for a week or so to see if it is still occurs? FastFold doesn't do much but sending set fdm=syntax/expr and set fdm=manual when called for.
Ha. Without fast fold, I have to disable syntax folding otherwise Vim is
unusable on anything I work on. When I disable syntax folding too I get
no problems...
It might very well be something else. My original thought was a memory
leak in vim itself when changing the fold method so often... but I might
be completely wrong.

An Apple a day, keeps Windows away.
How about a macro qq, then :set fdm=syntax<cr>:set fdm=manual<cr> and finally 999@q?
Then compare the memory consumptions by Vim in some process manager.
OK, just tired this. Tried a whole bunch of other macro combinations
too. It ran out of memory once. I can't seem to reproduce it
consistently though. Will try more.

Did some pattern evolve? In any case that is in all likelihood an upstream issue.

Yeah, it's probably an issue somewhere else! Problem still recurs for me
and I still can't reproduce it :).
Just close it. If I figure it out I'll reopen (if it's FastFold) or post
to upstream.
