Hi Folks! I have a question about memory usage of libxml2. I'm using libxml2 on two different systems, once a 32 bit linux other one a 64 bit linux. On both I run the same application which use libxml2 to parse xml files. The application opens many small xml files (~200) with xmlParseFile. The document (xmlDocPtr) stays open in memory. I now noticed that the application running on 64 bit Linux uses more the 4 times the heap memory as on the 32 bit version. I could understand a double up of used memory due to all the pointers are now double the size. But 4 time???
I did a check with valgrinds massif tool and it tells me that most of the heap allocation (in my case 2/3 of the total heap consumption) comes from libxml2 xmlParseFile. I don't know if it's a issue of libxml2 directly, but it seems it is. I would appreciate any suggestions to get the memory usage down! best regards, Robert Grasböck -- Ing. Robert Grasböck BSc.
