[aida] Reclaiming Memory in Aidaweb

[Smalltalk]

Hi,

Sometimes in my DEVELOPMENT environment I evaluate the following:

HTTPConnection allInstances do: [:each | each loop: nil; server: nil; task:
nil.].

Be sure to save the image first !!!

Hi Mariano,

MMP> Hi Herbert. What about expling an instance and see the pointers to

MMP> option "chase pointers" or similar (I don't know they are called in 
MMP> Squeak). But basically, you can browse the objects that are pointing to
that objects.

MMP> Maybe there are Processes, Contexts, Sessions or something like 
MMP> that, which are ponting to those objects.

that's the process I use but these objects are greatly interconnected, so
each of them is pointed to by hundreds of objects again. I hope the
8 HTTPServer's are the culprit but don't know how to get rid of them.
again they are pointed to by hundreds of objects.

Maybe the whole mess only is linked to a Global by one single reference
which I need to break.

BTW the PointerFinder on many of these Objects finds SuspendedDelays (see
attachment). At which point I'm stuck. Seems I need to learn Smalltalk
eventually :-)) Any tips?


Cheers,
