From: N Winkel <nw1905 <at> outlook.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 30.1; Native-comp causing large memory leak Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:23:49 +0100
Evaluating the following snippet in 'emacs -Q' after removing any
relevant eln-cache gives me memory leaks that don't seem to have
an upper limit (largest I've had before killing was 10G):
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" .
"https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(use-package smartparens
:config (require 'smartparens-config))
(defun +select-buffer-in-side-window (buffer alist)
"Display BUFFER in a side window and select it, ALIST controls where it
opens."
(let ((window (display-buffer-in-side-window buffer alist)))
(select-window window)))
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\*\\(?:Warnings\\|Compile-Log\\|Messages\\)\\*"
(+select-buffer-in-side-window)))
This opens a Warnings popup buffer that displays "🚫 Warning
(native-compiler): "
many times over with a single bit of information that is only sometimes
visible:
"smartparens-config.el:96:24: Warning the function
'org-element-property' is not
known to be defined." which doesn't seem relevant. Here's a link to a
screenshot
after evaluation: https://winkel.wolkesicher.de/index.php/s/HNTcdQMLCWNJ7Zq
Any interaction with the window after evaluating the snippet freezes the
window, but cpu (100% on a single core) and memory usage continue, with
memory rising at what appears to be a steady rate. The first couple
seconds have separate processes that have high memory usage, but after
that it all goes to the main 'emacs -Q' process.
On my system it reaches over 2G within 3min.
Adding (run-with-timer 0 10 'malloc-trim) does not seem to help, nor
does adding (malloc-trim) between statements.
