Title: gdb.exe eat 250M+ memory when debuging cb under cb
Post by: ollydbg on September 26, 2009, 10:06:05 am

I just find that when I debug codeblocks svn under codeblocks + TDM-GCC 4.4.0 + gdb6.8.

gdb.exe eat 250M memory :shock:.

If I can remember, this value was about 120M several months ago.


Is this a normal thing :D? 

Thanks.

I can confirm this issue.In the latest cb,when I debug cb codes,it always happened.

Keep in mind that for example as CC has improved it will therefore keep a lot more information in memory. So if you debug a big projects with a lot of symbols the memory footprint can increase, indeed.

@morten
I didn't agree with you. Because When I haven't open any project in the debugee(codeblocks), the gdb.exe has already reached 250M+.
I believe this is not caused by the new CC code.  :D Maybe, the linker is different.
