My space problems continued... :)
Follow up :)
I have some ForeignPtr's, with finalizers (finalizerFree only). And I
have lazyly produced list of those (yes, there is some unsafePerformIO
magic behind, but I think I got this right). The problem is I get
out-of-memory condition because elements get produced faster than
those consumed are garbage collected.
Example:
list = ...
mapM_ writeOut list
writeOut :: Ptr Word8
writeOut dat = do
hPutBuh handle dat 1024
-- Control.Concurrent.threadDelay 1000
This sould be:
writeOut :: Ptr Word8
writeOut dat = do
hPutBuh handle dat 1024
System.Mem.performGC
Control.Concurrent.threadDelay 1000
My small experimets show, that gc is not triggered?!?! What are the
conditions to trigger gc? As I read the docs, is some % of heap. Is
mallocForeinPtrBytes counted into that %?
Anyway I ended up triggering GC by hand and giving it time to run
finalizers. Frankly speaking this is nonsolution:(
Related question:
Documentation says:
-Msize
[Default: unlimited] Set the maximum heap size to size bytes. The
heap normally grows and shrinks according to the memory requirements of
the program...
GHC 6.4 says:
Heap exhausted;
Current maximum heap size is 268435456 bytes (256 Mb);
use `+RTS -M<size>' to increase it.
What am I missing?
PS: I might be mistaken in any of above statements. I'll be thankful for
any light... :)
