Really high memory usage and then a crash with a lot of new files #6385

Open Monochrome-Sauce opened 4 months ago

Monochrome-Sauce commented 4 months ago

Description of the bug

When there are a lot of files, Sublime Text's memory usage starts to rise (it reached higher than in the attached picture) and it ends up crashing. When the crash happens, the inotify system limit is reached. The system has enough memory to keep operating.

Additional information: the files were added by a build system and appear in the .gitignore file.

Does it happen in safe mode?

Monochrome-Sauce commented 4 months ago

Yes, and even faster.

Monochrome-Sauce commented 4 months ago

It also happens on an Arch (Sway) machine with completely different hardware (same Sublime Text build)

How many files are being created?

Monochrome-Sauce commented 4 months ago

My case has over 1000, but it also happens at ~600.

Monochrome-Sauce commented 4 months ago

Memory usage rose by hundreds of MiB for subl --safe-mode open over the weekend with much less files.

BenjaminSchaaf commented 3 months ago

Creating 100,000 files very quickly on my end locks up ST for a little bit, but memory usage goes up barely 100MB and the process goes back to idle afterwards. As such I really can't reproduce this issue.
