Subject: How to debug out of memory situation?
Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 17:06:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <84n0h8l98r.fsf@lucy.is.informatik.uni-duisburg.de> (raw)
When using Gnus from CVS (I mean the CVS at gnus.org) together with
Emacs from CVS, and I tell the Agent to fetch articles, then I often
get an out of memory error.
At one point, I was actually thrown into the (Lisp-level) debugger,
and at that point I did M-x apropos-value RET ^.\{10000\} RET (also
the same without backslashes), but that didn't find anything.
Is there a way for me to figure out where the memory is gone, so that
Emacs has no more memory?
Hm. Maybe I should have said M-x apropos-value RET \`\(.\| C-q C-j
\)\{10000\} RET.
Most of the time, Emacs doesn't go into the debugger. Instead, it
beeps endlessly. Sometimes, it prints a warning about memory full
and advises me to save buffers and kill Emacs. Sometimes it gives me
a memory-full warning and asks me whether to continue. I think both
answers (yes, and no) result in endless beeps...
