Hi,

When I launch a lot of transformations (using the 'main' Java class generated by Acceleo (main tag on my template)),
I have a problem with the memory management : the heap-status displayed in my Eclipse never decreased.
It seems that memory is not unloaded.

How can I avoid this ?


Thanks for your answer,

Alex

Hi Alex,

The memory allocated by Acceleo transformations should be properly
disposed of at the end of the generations ... We haven't really observed
problems with generations targetting ecore, UML, GenModel or custom DSL
so far.

What is the metamodel of the models from which you generate code? And
are you sure that these models/metamodels don't need custom steps when
unloading (which could be the case for custom DSLs)? Don't you use Java
services from your generation which allocate memory in static fields?

This kind of issues could have many, many different sources... Your best
bet is to profile the application and dump the memory after a number of
generations so that you can check what's in heap.

Hi Laurent,

We tested memory : objects are kept by Inverse Cross Referencer of the UML cache adapter.
We added break point on the unload statement of the ResourceImpl class : this statement is never called. Is it normal ?

Thanks for all,

Alexandre Cortier

Hi Alexandre,

UML creating its own Cross referencer is a memory issue we've seen in a
number of our projects. As Acceleo doesn't explicitely unload the
resources it loads, you will have to manually take care of it for UML
resources.

Namely, you will have to override the "doGenerate" method of the
generated Java launcher (the Java class beside the module which contains
your "@main" annotation) with a code such as :

/**
* Launches the generation.
*
* @param monitor
* This will be used to display progress information to the
user.
* @throws IOException
* Thrown when the output cannot be saved.
* @generated NOT
*/
@Override
public void doGenerate(Monitor monitor) throws IOException {
super.doGenerate(monitor);

// Unload UML resources (memory issues)
ResourceSet rs = getModel().eResource().getResourceSet();
for (Resource resource : rs.getResources()) {
if
(UMLResource.FILE_EXTENSION.equals(resource.getURI().fileExt ension())) {
resource.unload();
}
}
}

Hi,

In case any one wonders, the two bugzillas
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334264 and
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334283 have been opened to
tackle the issues raised by this thread. Both are now fixed and will be
available in 3.0.2RC1 and 3.1.0M5.
