1. too much memory use
Does anyone know why, in the cases that Eu runs off and uses all available
ram, and then all available swap space, the OS gets buggy with GPF's on all
apps? This has happened before with Eu, where a running program, for no
apparent reason, suddenly starts using gobs of memory.
Derek or Xanax/Euman or someone, is there way for Eu to catch memory
use by itself,, like an API call i can use in my code, so i can trace(1) the
point it's doing this?, or otherwise start a debug puts(debugfile,whatever)?

2. Re: too much memory use
Sorry, Kat. I suspect that there is some Windows API that cater for this but
I don't know them of the top of my head.
Can you address the trigger for this effect instead? Or is that unknown so
far?

How about:
VOID GlobalMemoryStatus(
LPMEMORYSTATUS lpBuffer // pointer to the memory status structure
);
typedef struct _MEMORYSTATUS { // mst
DWORD dwLength; // sizeof(MEMORYSTATUS)
DWORD dwMemoryLoad; // percent of memory in use
DWORD dwTotalPhys; // bytes of physical memory
DWORD dwAvailPhys; // free physical memory bytes
DWORD dwTotalPageFile; // bytes of paging file
DWORD dwAvailPageFile; // free bytes of paging file
DWORD dwTotalVirtual; // user bytes of address space
DWORD dwAvailVirtual; // free user bytes
} MEMORYSTATUS, *LPMEMORYSTATUS;

Still unknown. It works for a period of time, using under 5megs of memory,
then i hear the hd rattling, and see come back to the keybd to see the
memory use be 300+megabytes. It must be skyrocketing fast, because
there is a lot of work done before it goes up.

Could be that you'll need a program that hooks into your running process
something like Euman used to let Robert Craig know that Euphoria 2.0
(I think that was the version) wasnt freeing all used ram. The problem
was as Euman remembers it the .dll files werent being released.
I dont have a copy of the program maybe Matt Lewis still has it.
Euman (thinks) he sent him a copy a long time ago.

At least, you're a smart (sounding) programmer, I think..... even if you are
a newbie.
