Hi,
I have a python gtk app that allows users to have one project open at a
time. I have recently discovered that projects are not being freed
when they are closed - the refcount is not hitting zero. I have used
gc.get_referrer s() to track down a few culprits, but I have now found
that some of my dialog boxes are staying alive after being closed too
(and keeping a reference to the project).
e.g.
gc.collect()
print sys.getrefcount (self.data.proj ect)
# this function presents the dialog and loads the data
idata = csvimport.ask_a nd_load(self.ap p.root,
self.data.proje ct)
gc.collect()
print sys.getrefcount (self.data.proj ect)
prints out:
39
40
(In this example I have cancelled the dialog and idata is None.)
I have tracked down an offending tuple that has a reference to my
dialog, which is a value in a large dictionary with integer keys that
look like ID's. The other values in the dictionary appear to be widget
connections and other stuff.
Anyway, gc.get_referrer s() keeps giving me lists, dictionarys and
frames, which is not helping me find what code created this reference.
I can't think of any other way of tracking this down apart from hacking
some debug code into the python source.
Does anyone have any other ideas for finding the code that created my
unwanted reference before I have to dust off my C skills?
Thanks
Tim 1 1500
More info:
The project has cyclic references to the objects in the projects, but
this should be handled by gc.collect(). Here's is my 'project still
alive' test:
# store a weakref for debugging
p = weakref.ref(sel f.data.project)
self.data.setPr oject(None, None)
gc.collect() # whole project is cyclic
p = p()
if p is not None:
print 'Project still exists!!'
Cheers

Hi,
I have a Python script interacting with a specialized
C numerical library. The whole program does quite a lot
of number crunching as should be running for a couple
of hours. However, it always seems to run out of memory
after maybe 40-45 minutes (I get a MemoryError from
the python interpreter). I wanted to see what took
that much memory so I printed a reference count
(using sys.getrefcount()) and I was suprised to

Hi!
First of all, I hope my problem is not too loosely tied to the
"standard C++" that is the topic of this group.
I have some code that exhibits a strange behaviour: on
one computer, where I compile with g++-3.2 it compiles and
works fine, on another computer, whether I compile with g++-3.0
or g++-2.95 (unfortunately 3.2 is not available) it crashes
with a segmentation violation on runtime.

How do you find the reference name of an object?
So if i have this

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
