Hi all,
I have been using custom properties and custom properties sets to store
results from different data analysis. This requires me to delete the
properties of the last run before proceeding with the next run. There
are many many automatically generated properties in the sets. I
started to wonder what happens to the memory when I delete a key. The
properties can no longer be seen because the key is gone, but what
about the memory space. Does Rev garbage collect the space to recover
it? I am concerned that I will create this huge legacy of garbage
memory structures that will continue to grow as my program is run and
saved over many months.
Can anyone verify that the program memory space will be recovered?
Another way to ask that question would be to pose it as its corollary:
do we have evidence of memory leaks in Rev?
There may be, but it seems not too difficult to test: make a project
that adds and deletes large sets of custom props and objects containing
large amounts of data, check the memory usage before it starts, let it
run all night, and check it again in the morning.
