One possible reason for this is that our http url handler reads all the bytes of the remote resource into a byte[]. This can cause problems if the number of bytes is large. FYI, see this thread. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2005-09/msg00077.html I just ran into this while attempting to install the EclipseDocs plugin (http://eclipsedocs.berlios.de, I think). I think the HTTP URL theory may be valid 'cause with the Sun JVM I get progress as the plugin is downloading (ie. 8405 kB out of 16000 kB) but with gcj I get no progress and each jar just finishes (or doesn't ;). Updating subject. BTW, a patch for this problem went in to Classpath. I'll try to get this into gcj. FYI -- this fix was brought in to the 4.1 tree by the classpath merge. I think this is fixed in rawhide. Cool. We can re-open if it rears its ugly head again. |
Description of problem: While attempting to install plugins via the update manager I recieved the warnings GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 16781312): May lead to memory leak and poor performance. GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 2101248): May lead to memory leak and poor performance. GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 9461760): May lead to memory leak and poor performance. GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 1052672): May lead to memory leak and poor performance. and eventually eclipse exits with an out of memory error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Find and Install in the update manager 2. Search for new features to install > Eclipse.org update site, Finish 3. Select EMF SDK 2.1.0 and go to install Actual results: Installation takes an extremely long time, the error warnings come up on the command line, and eclipse eventually exits with an out of memory error. Expected results: All the stuff I just said, except not.
