About memory, crashes, and /LARGEADDRESSAWARE and Win2003

[CrazyMan]

Hi.
In 99 POL developers use /LARGEADDRESSAWARE for supprting more than 2GB of memory.

So, when your POLServer use more than 2GB memory you will get error:

Code: Select all

[03/19 11:38:49] error in create_thread: 12 8 "Not enough space" "Not enough space" 0 6090448 SocketClientThread 6104704 0 2074923528

And after this your memory will be corrupted. Something like that

Code: Select all

[03/19 11:53:35] Exception in: pkg/autoquest/nabeg/brain/brain.ecl.: bad allocation
 PC < nLines: (ken: 1332:  1332: get member id 'z' (2)

or that 
[03/19 11:53:37] Exception in: pkg/systems/brain/brain.eclile.cfg: bad allocation
 PC < nLines: (ber(123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~6328:  6328: get member id 'z' (2)

And players cant play anymore. Saves will be corrupted too.

So what we need to do ?
First step - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx
Add to your boot.ini param /3GB
And after reboot POL will can use 3Gb of memory, and your uptime will be longer.

What we need for second step:
1. Optimise script base
2. Create some memory profiling for finding problem places and scripts.
2. Find and solve memory leaks
3. x86_64 version


There is some leaks

There is chart of consumed memory
