Subject: Large memory usage by gdb
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2017 20:20:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d511930-9914-9aef-363f-2fff37dfc6a8@gmail.com> (raw)
My OS is Ubuntu 17.04. Using both gdb 7.12 and 8.0, I experience large
memory usage when debugging my executable. As I add breakpoints and run
the executable multiple times in a single session, memory usage grows
continuously, regularly hitting 10s of GBs. I don't recall experiencing
this issue with earlier Ubuntu versions (and also likely earlier
versions of gdb). When I debug the same executable with `lldb`, memory
usage is pretty much constant at around 2 GB. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Alex
