<b>Subject: </b>[DEFECT] Debugger leaves terminated processes</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, Hi Juan,<br>
<br>
I think I found the cause of my huge images:<br>
The Debugger (or process termination)<br>
leaves terminated processes hanging around.<br>
<br>
First I saved the image before running the<br>
killer-Block (see the attached killit.st):<br>
<br>
-- snip --<br>
beforeLargeStack.image<br>
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bear bear 27M Okt 20 17:50 Haver6.0-5496-beforeLargeStack.image<br>
-- snap --<br>
<br>
Than I ran killit and simply closed the debugger window<br>
and saved the image:<br>
<br>
-- snip --<br>
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bear bear 1.9G Okt 20 17:51 Haver6.0-5496-afterLargeStack.image<br>
-- snap --<br>
<br>
From 27 megabytes to 1.9 gigabytes in 20 seconds,<br>
that's quite a feature, albeit a bad one.<br>
<br>
When I print all existing processes -- see diagnoseKillit.st -- I<br>
could see there are a lot of terminated processes hanging around.<br>
<br>
I did `self break` and closed the debugger: More terminated processes.<br>
Bad enough: `Smalltalk garbageCollect` does not help.<br>
<br>
The first part of RunningProcesses.txt is the transcript<br>
output after running the killer-block.<br>
(There are already some terminated processes, because I used<br>
image to implement the fixes, I just posted).<br>
The second part is transcript output after one `self break`;<br>
I didn't check exactly, but there are more terminated processes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>
