Hello, thanks for looking.
I am a novice Xojo programmer, a refugee from the VB6
camp that never quite “settled” in the Xojo culture so I
am very likely doing something wrong in my code…
I have written a GUI for a scientific instrument (a Photometer)
that communicates via TCP to a GUI written in Xojo on an RPI.
I think that there may be a memory leak, (as the memory usage
climbs over time as viewed via htop / or / top)
The output from HTOP right now for this process looks as follows:
PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU MEM%
20 0 254M 72416 58336 S 4.9 7.6
Again this is basically an app that connects via TCP socket,
receives a string, and then prints it on the screen in a big font.
Nothing heroic. It also can (but does not normally) graph
an energy plot of the filters. Do these amounts of memory
(above) seem reasonable for a stand alone RPI app?
Is there a way I can find out from within my application how
much memory the application is using? something like a mem()
command from the 80’s? I would like to know ho much memory
the app is taking from within it self, and (as a horrible fix for now)
just have the app kill itself - (its in an auto re-start script)
Along these lines, how would one have an Xojo app kill itself?
is there and equivalent to an “end” statement in xojo?
Thank you,
—Lou
