I've got a curious little bit of a memory leak of sorts that I'm trying to narrow down.
I have an application (betcha can guess what it is if you know me from IRC :>) that, in order to reload plugins, requires each of them with the :reload option whenever you ask them to be reloaded. Each of these plugins calls a macro that defines a set of defmethods for a multimethod in a namespace that never does get reloaded. They also define a single function that isn't a method. Whenever these 'plugins' are reloaded (there are about 20 of them), the memory my application uses is raised by about 3MB, as monitored with htop. It's very consistent and always raises 2-3MB each time. The less plugins being reloaded, the less dramatic the memory jump. Now, my question is: can require with :reload a lot of namespaces like this cause this sort of thing to happen? I mostly just need to know whether or not I'm going in the wrong direction. I've never had this sort of problem before. If so, are there any steps I can take to keep memory from building up like this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
