3 years ago Can you build picom with address sanitizer enabled? When you run meson, run meson setup -Db_sanitize=address ...... That will tell you if picom has leaked memory.

Can you build picom with debug symbols? This stack trace isn't very useful.

See https://github.com/yshui/picom/wiki/Reporting-issues#get-a-stack-trace:
Note, to get a stack trace with useful information, you have to build picom with debug information. You can do that by adding --buildtype=debug to meson configure.

3 years ago Your stack-trace still does not have debug symbols. Are you sure are running the newly build executable with debug symbols and not the version provided by your distribution? If you have followed the readme, the freshly build executable should be ./build/src/picom.

3 years ago Also, please keep picom running until the memory usage growth manifest, otherwise the leak won't be detected.

3 years ago I'm a little bit confused I made multiple builds with the same options but it behaves differentially some of them working properly and others not the memory growing over time, I leave it running for multiple hours but the leak detector did not work.
yshui
commented
3 years ago What do you mean by leak detector not working? Did it not report any leaks after you seeing the memory growing over time?
nasserbinlaboun
commented
3 years ago Yes, it did not report anything

3 years ago previously, I was using this command to run picom:
picom --config ~/.config/picom/picom.conf --experimental-backends
And it did not report anything.
So, I tried to run picom without any options for around 12 hours:
picom
And it gave me these errors:
I am not sure if this output is useful or not. Thank you for your time guys.
