Maybe because of output buffering and you need to add flush?
How do I do that? I've never heard of flush before.
The program uses ~1GB of RAM overall, even though main.results
is ~50MB
according to memSize.
Wrong comparison. You should have compared to the output file's
size.
info.sizeof doesn't include the size of info.name.
In my test results were 30 MB but the output file was 101 MB.
Yeah, my output file was 126MB. I figured strings had a set
amount of memory they could use, like an int can use exactly 4
bytes.
But if you really have to do some extra processing of results,
then you can reduce the memory used like 6 times by using an
Appender instead of concatenating arrays and by reserving a
reasonable number of records, to limit possible initial
fragmentation when the array is resized. My program used 145 MB
whereas the output file was 101 MB. I think it's good enough.
I've never come across Appenders before. Could you please explain
them a little bit, and what each call in your modified code does?
Thanks,
Josh
