Speaking of memory usage, has anyone thought about looking for some
memory leaks? Ok so I've been a lazy Debian user and I'm not up to
what's in CVS (2.4.7 right now), but here's what I'm seeing (from top).
PID USER PRI NI SIZE SWAP RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
668 david 8 0 15300 8948 6352 3440 S 0.0 1.9 3:35 fvwm2
after restarting fvwm, same windows etc
668 david 10 0 2468 0 2468 1348 S 0.1 0.7 3:36 fvwm2
Let's see, 15MB vs 2.4MB, could be. It could also be fixed by now in
CVS.
Does anyone have a favorite memory leak checker? I've tried two, but
I haven't been to impressed with them. One was called memusage (at
least on SuSE), and said what was allocated/freed and sizes but I had
no idea where the leak was, or glibc doing exit instead of free..exit.
