p.s. I've seen this on 14.0 beta, and also 13.1.0 so it's been there for a while.]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:15:34 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16217&PID=56872&title=mem-leak-relating-to-populate-call#56872 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16217&PID=56871&title=mem-leak-relating-to-populate-call#56871 Author: adrien

Hi all

We have an app that enumerates users in an Active Directory and puts the records in a Report control. There can be any number of objects from 10 to anything. We are currently testing for load with an AD with 250,000 users in it.

Normally we limit the number of records to display, but allow the user to show all. So, I'm running into trouble when adding all 250,000 records to the control.

I'm not using virtual mode.

If I add all records, then call populate, everything is fine (except see nothing for a long time), and memory is released when I call ResetContent.

However if I call Populate while adding records, memory is then not released.

I tried several methods

1. calling populate on each add. This resulted in 0 memory freed when I call ResetContent, and furthermore 0 memory freed when I even delete the control itself!!! So this is a huge leak.

2. Calling populate for every N records. This results in a leak, but there is a small amount of memory returned when ResetContent is called. So this is still a large leak.

I really need all memory to be freed, since this control is in a DLL which can be unloaded, but uses a shared heap, so the memory will leak if it's not returned.

Anything I can do? I'm reluctant to go virtual, since I need sorting and grouping.

What would be really great would be ability for records to be added and no populate call required (e.g. it adds and draws, optimised for high rate of inserts).

Also, there are horrible things happening in AddRecordEx. If you call AddRecordEx with NULL for parent, and -1 for other params, it iterates all items for no purpose. This makes it impossibly slow.
