Hi,
I am running rawhide. I updated with the mass rebuild updates. As an
aside, good job, as thousands of updates occurred with no problems.
However, a python simulation program I run which ran without problems
before the update now appears to leak memory. I noticed it when the
gui became sluggish. I looked and it was using ~87% memory. I stopped
and restarted, and it went down to 2% memory. I watched and over time
memory use began creeping up again.
Maybe this is just poor programming on my part, but I looked for any
leaks that might be happening and the only thing I could see would be
garbage collection of discarded lists not being done. When I explicitly
removed or set them to 0 before replacing them, it made no difference.
If this is truly an issue, more people should be reporting it, I would
think. I have no idea where to look to debug this, so I will wait for
more updates and see if that changes anything. I am just giving this
report as a heads up for a possible problem caused by the mass
rebuild.
If it still happens after updating, I will try to develop a simple test
program that exhibits the behavior and open a bug, probably against
python 3.10 as a start. It is replacing a list in a list of lists that
have that list as a member. i.e. [ [fixed fixed list1 list2] ...]
Replacing list1 and list2, I think the old versions of list1 and list2
are hanging around instead of being garbage collected.
