Slickedit uses huge amount of memory > 2.1GB
« on: August 26, 2020, 08:15:08 AM »
Hi,
I noticed that the current beta version uses huge amount of RAM > 2.1GB.
It also tend to stop responding, some time for short time and sometime forever and need to be restarted.

Thanks,
Niv

Were you using the Git Repository Browser?  There is a memory issue there being resolved for Beta 4.

To report a hang, it's best to provide as much information as possible.

If you are on Windows, attached to SlickEdit with Visual Studio and create a mini-dump.  There are instructions posted on the forums, and it is also quite easy to look up how to do this.

If you are on Linux, attach to the SlickEdit process (vs) using "gdb" and issue the "bt all" command to get a backtrace of all threads.

If you are macOS, attach to the SlickEdit process (vs) using "lldb" and issue the "bt all" command to get a backtrace of all threads.

You can post the backtrace here, or place them on the SlickEdit support website.

This information should be in an faq or pinned to the beta forum.

On Windows you can create a mini dump with task manager.
Open the Windows Task Manager, click the Processes tab, right-click the application and select create dump file.

The slickedit support website is where...  I don't know.
