Sad but true it seems. If your not getting crashes like once a day or something though you might as well continue on until they become more annoying to bother with. Why wait a week or two for a crash when you could have gotten a lot done in that time. Just after you get the changes in how you want and your going to log out for the day go ahead and do a reboot so its running a good fresh run so if it crashes while https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21222#p21222 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 22:42:40 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21221#p21221 Pee Ess I'm fairly certain they didn't mean don't code at all until it crashes, just don't recompile after it dumps the core until you've had a chance to gdb =P I msn'd you the same thing. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21221#p21221 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 18:48:55 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Dace) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21220#p21220 That's why, if you really believe it's a memory leak, valgrind's a better tool than gdb, but if you don't know what you're doing with valgrind.. well, it's a complex tool too. :shrug: https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21220#p21220 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 18:32:31 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Conner) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21219#p21219 Yea that is one of the worst things about memory leaks is waiting on a crash from it, which it can take awhile since you have to wait on the memory to leak bad enough to cause issues. Then half the time the actual crash is else where and doesn't point to where the actual leak is lol. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21219#p21219 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 17:30:42 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21218#p21218 Okay, thanks! Core's deleted, now to wait for that impending crash. Hope it doesn't take too long...sucks just sitting here doing nothing waiting on this. :lol: https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21218#p21218 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 15:58:19 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Aurin) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21216#p21216 Yea the core is created when there was a crash. I'm fairly sure that is an outdated core though and should be deleted. then when you get a new core check it out. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21216#p21216 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:10:43 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21215#p21215 heh Okay...been done, but I see that the core is the same--I'm pretty sure this is only generated if there's a problem, so it's not really needed, but.... >.> ...wasn't wanting to delete anything that might be important, so leaving it for now. heh https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21215#p21215 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:36:17 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Aurin) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21214#p21214 Yes, stop modifying for now, reboot the game, and then wait for it to crash again. Then you should at least have a clean core to work with. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21214#p21214 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:15:14 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21213#p21213 [quote=Samson]Well you need to stop doing modifications period because if it crashes and you've modified the code without rebooting clean you're still going to end up with bogus backtrace data. Yes, it sucks, but it's the only good way to nail down those pesky bugs.[/quote] So...you're saying to do a clean boot and then just go from there? (no more modifications, of course, and I even put it in the news so the players won't expect anything anytime soon heh) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/may-have-a-memory-leak-4492/&p=21213#p21213 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:04:43 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Aurin)
