Hi Jorj,

If you could rebuild the library, please try these two changed files in the 
directory hdf5/c++/src and see if that help.


Thanks,

Binh-Minh

Thanks Jason,

I've just tried applying that to my local copy of HDF (using the Id constructor 
of DataSpace), I can't say for sure - the memory usage of the program still 
rose to 5GB+, but it seemed better...

If I get a chance today I'll rewrite using the C api and see what that changes.

Bug found (in C++ api as usual)

The C++ API *should* take care of inc/dec ref appropriately although they do 
this in each object class (may be higher in some class hierarchies like 
datatypes) but something of a leaf otherwise, rather than through inheritance 
of IdComponent. That strategy while working has left a few bugs I've found / 
encountered both as leaks and dec'reffing references not incref'd.  As of 
1.8.15, all that I was aware of though but this concern should be warranted all 
the time based on past-burnings (this would be the third time noticing 
something a shared_ptr like class/wrapper around HDF resources 
(IdComponent...?) would completely eliminate.


dataset.getSpace() leaks a reference:

   //create dataspace object using the existing id then return the object
   DataSpace data_space; <--default constructor makes a valid hdf dataspace for 
H5S_SCALAR
   f_DataSpace_setId(&data_space, dataspace_id); <-- evil line, why didn't we 
just use the ctor that takes the id parameter?
   return( data_space );


//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function:    f_DataSpace_setId - friend
// Purpose:    This function is friend to class H5::DataSpace so that it can
//        can set DataSpace::id in order to work around a problem
//        described in the JIRA issue HDFFV-7947.
//        Applications shouldn't need to use it.
// param    dspace   - IN/OUT: DataSpace object to be changed

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
void f_DataSpace_setId(DataSpace* dspace, hid_t new_id) <--evil function that 
shouldn't exist (as a friend no-less!)
{
    dspace->id = new_id; <-- why not dspace->p_setId(new_id);?  Just make it 
public already as "reset" and get rid of the friend.  Follow shared_ptr 
semantics.. and bring all this stuff inside IdComponent.

Hmm. Well I have no experience with HDF5's C++ interface.

My first thought when reading your description was. . . I've seen that before. 
It happens when I forgot to H5Xclose() all the objects I H5Xopened (groups, 
datasets, types, dataspaces, etc.).

However, with C++, I presume the interface is designed to close objects when 
they fall out of scope (e.g. deconstructor is called). So, in looking at your 
code, even though I don't see any explicit calls to close objects previously 
opened, I assume that *should* be happening when the objects fall out of scope. 
But, are you *certain* that *is* happening? Just before exiting main, you migth 
wanna make a call to H5Fget_obj_count() to get some idea how many objects HDF5 
library thinks are still open in the file. If you get a large number, then that 
would suggest the problem is that the C++ interface isn't somehow closing 
objects as they fall out of scope.

Thats all I can think of. Sorry if no help.

Mark

Subject: [Hdf-forum] Growing memory usage in small HDF program

Hello,

I am writing an application which writes large data sets to HDF5 files, in 
fixed size blocks, using the HDF C++ API (version 1.8.15, patch 1, built in 
msvc 2013 x64)

I my application seems to quickly consume all the available memory on my system 
(win32 - around 5.9GB), and then crash whenever the system becomes stressed 
(windows kills it as it has no memory)

I have also tested the application on a linux machine, where I saw similar 
results.

I was under the impression that by using HDF5, the file would be brought in and 
out of memory in such a way that the library would only use a small working set 
- is this not true?

I have experimented with HDF features such as flushing to disk, regularly 
closing and re opening, garbage collection and tuning chunking and caching 
settings and haven't managed to get a stable working set.

I've attached a minimal example, can anyone point out my mistake?

Thanks,
- Jorj

// There are a few comments that are common to most of the functions
// defined in this file so they are listed here.
// - getLocId is called by all functions, that call a C API, to get
//   the location id, which can be either a file id or a group id.
//   This function is pure virtual and it's up to H5File and Group
//   to call the right getId() - although, as the structure of the
//   library at this time, getId() is basically the IdComponent::getId()
// - when a failure returned by the C API, the functions will call
//   throwException, which is a pure virtual function and is implemented
//   by H5File to throw a FileIException and by Group to throw a
//   GroupIException.
