I've tested it on Debian 5.0 64-bit: SBCL 1.0.18, BDB 4.6, both stock from Debian packages. There is no leak neither for get-instances-by-value, nor ofr get-instances-by-class: CL-USER> (require 'ele-bdb) ... CL-USER> (use-package :elephant) T CL-USER> (open-store '(:bdb #p"mydb/")) #<BDB-STORE-CONTROLLER mydb/> CL-USER> (defpclass bigj () ((slo1 :accessor slot1 :initarg :slot1 :index t))) #<PERSISTENT-METACLASS BIGJ> CL-USER> (make-instance 'bigj :slot1 "goethe") #<BIGJ oid:2> CL-USER> (make-instance 'bigj :slot1 "goethe2") #<BIGJ oid:4> CL-USER> (make-instance 'bigj :slot1 "goeth") #<BIGJ oid:5> CL-USER> (dotimes (i 1000000) (get-instances-by-value 'bigj 'slo1 "goethe")) NIL CL-USER> (dotimes (i 1000000) (get-instances-by-class 'bigj)) NIL CL-USER> (dotimes (i 1000000) (get-instance-by-value 'bigj 'slo1 "goethe")) NIL Both before and after tests SBCL had resident set size of 100 MB, as measured by `top`. So I guess it is an error with a specific version of SBCL or BDB, so try different versions. _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
