Does anybody know what has become of this: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/TFPCHeapStatus-miscalculations-in-2-3-1-td2824362.html
I am currently experiencing the same problem. The only thing my Program does on the heap are ansistring manipulations, concatenating strings to new strings and discarding intermediate results. The total amount used by my strings should not grow they should be all discarded after processing, they are all only temporarily used in local variables inside procedures. CurrHeapUsed starts around 4000 and then after a few hours slowly shrinks(!) until it eventually becomes negative (not always, there is some randomness in my data and the amount of strings that are processed, sometimes I have to wait longer). MaxHeapUsed starts with 16576 and then suddenly drops to -16. This all happens with FPC 2.5.1, snapshot from a few days ago. Is this a known problem and nothing to worry about or am I asking for trouble if I ignore this?
