[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55287] Memory leak in graphics subsystem

[Lars Kindermann]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #55287 (project octave):

As Octave is missing MATLABs memory() function which is very helpful in
debugging memory problems, I started hacking an Octave version. It only has
some of the functionality of the original yet and currently works on Linux
only but it does its job. Maybe something for 6.0.

I attached it to this report.
How to use it in the test script:



i=0
do
 i=i+1; 
 data=rand(100000,1);
 #clf #uncomment to avoid leak
 plot(data);
 drawnow
 mem=memory().MemUsedOctave;
 disp([i mem])
until i>100000
