now something I'm little bit more concerned: I've seen (activity monitor) that pd needs more and more memory. it starts about 2.7 MB and without doing anything it just increases about 20kb/second . after two hours it took about 150 MB memory and was still increasing. this happens on osx 10.3.9 using miller's pd without any patches or libs is this a bug ? do you have the same behavior ?
Which half of PureData is causing the problem? Is it "pd" all lowercase (server) or "Pd" capitalized (client) ?
it's the lowercase "pd" , which is going up and up. now it's over 317 MB . wonder what happen when it reaches the limit.
When it reaches the limit it surely just crashes. Depending on what your limit is, it'll swap a lot before reaching the limit.
I can't test it myself because I don't have a mac.
I would suggest running Valgrind but it's a Linux-only program. What would be a good equivalent to that on OSX? There's a neat program called "Shark" on the Developer Tools CD, but I don't recall whether it can detect memory leaks.
I'm not familiar with that, actually I'm not familiar with c-programming compiling etc.
Which version of Miller's pd exactly??
It is Pd version 0.39-1 compiled for Macintosh. on OS X 10.3.9
