058 not killing javaw.exe on exit?
« on: Aug 9th, 2003, 3:29pm »

on windows, it seems that when exiting from processing, a huge (in memory consumption terms) jvm is not deleted!
 
also confirming the following (already reported by gkoshra and martin):
 
receving a "couldn't delete lib\build\*" error when stopping a sketch within the ide (replace * by any file used by the sketch: gifs, text files, fonts, etc.)
 
(when i go to delete manually the files within the lib\build folder, sometimes they're locked but sometimes not...)

the javaw.exe not getting killed may be fixed in 59. can anyone verify?
 
the "couldn't delete" messages are cosmetic and have been supressed for 60.

javaw.exe is indeed getting killed on exit in 059. However, if I run my P5 network app a few times, my whole machine gets *extremely* logey. Is there some sort of memory leak that occurs with the networking code? (ie. some socket process isn't getting properly killed)
 
I find I have to restart P5 after every 3rd execution of my app.

what about if there are no changes made to the sketch? does it still keep javaw around?
 
i.e. it's supposed to be asking to save changes, but the window is closed too quickly.. but perhaps that is what is holding up javaw.. since it's waiting for some input that's not happening.
 
also, does the same thing happen with run.bat?

we've got a new implementation for rev 60, please give it a try when it's released in the next few days to see whether this is fixed.
