Eh... ship it. RAM is cheap.

"Uh, Boss, our customers are sending us the invoices for their RAM purchases."

OMG I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT TO JETBRAINS AND MICROSOFT FOR TEAMS

Also electron. Because somehow a full blown separate FF instance is more ram efficient than electron.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago

Well, Electron uses Chrome, so yes

That's why I preallocate the max memory I will need just like I was taught to do in Fortran. You can't leak what you don't have.

Heap allocation failure > gradual memory leak

Checkmate atheists.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (4 children)

This is why I only allocate on the stack

People who are enthusiastic about using pointers in C++ are doing it wrong. Never use a pointer when you can get away with a reference.

[–] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 23 points 3 months ago

For C++, yes. But "reference" is just a way of using the pointer when it comes to C

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Sure, but that's technically allocation-agnostic either way.

This guy gets it

Static allocation for the SIL ratings

Stack overflow intensifies

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

I only use the registers.

[–] RacoonVegetable@reddthat.com 20 points 3 months ago

~I’m sorry~

rip random amiga machine

[–] Beanie@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

The line causing the memory leaks is actually the lack of a line: free().
