 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 3:26 pm Post subject: Run function has a memory leak |
 |
|
Does anyone know why the Run function uses up so much ram?
My script starts at 2 meg, I run a program, and it jumps to 6. I run another, and it's 8, then 9, etc. Not always the same, but it never clears that memory out. It seems to max out somewhere around 9 or 10.
any ideas? |

I notice that when I use the run command, it does jump up, but only slightly. My script starts at around 2200k and never goes higher than around 2800k. Are you using an older version?

How do you see the memory usage ? With Windows Task Manager ?
If your are so concerned about it, call EmptyMem() after the Run command.
| Code: | EmptyMem(PID="AHK Rocks"){
; Heresy : http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32876
pid:=(pid="AHK Rocks") ? DllCall("GetCurrentProcessId") : pid
h:=DllCall("OpenProcess", "UInt", 0x001F0FFF, "Int", 0, "Int", pid)
DllCall("SetProcessWorkingSetSize", "UInt", h, "Int", -1, "Int", -1)
DllCall("CloseHandle", "Int", h)
} |

I have seen one my of AHK script use over 600MB.. and Windows resets it before the physical memory id exhausted..

Very excellent. I figured out what it was doing, just looked a little confusing at first.
This is wonderful, keeps my script at about 600k memory, and drops it back to that everytime i use the run command. |
