ID: 77879 User updated by: xxalfa at gmail dot com Reported by: xxalfa at gmail dot com Summary: Usable memory Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Testing related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.3.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The script executes successfully because it has detected because the level of memory has not changed. However, the level increases by 1024 per cycle, if the function were to work properly, the script would continue to work. That's why it's a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-12 02:26:32] requi...@php.net Your script is quitting because PHP didn't need to allocate more memory to handle another 1k characters. Why is that a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-12 01:48:30] xxalfa at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The following script fills the memory with pointless data. Now the problem: From one point, the function "memory_get_usage" returns the same value, although the level has changed. This is important if you want to process data and save it only when a certain number of results have been generated. The second problem: Why are only 40% usable?
