Re: Out of Memory errors are frustrating as heck!

It is confirmed, these two call paths are the only ones. At least probably the only ones to occur with enough of a frequency.

there is a problem with gdb, it also has a memoy leak and is very expensive with the checking of my conditional breakpoint. So I can't run it all the way through.

Also here captured with

there is the developing memory leak. Now let's see if we can trace individual increments ...
(gdb) info break

doesn't show an increase of ExecutorState total:

exact same as before:

    ExecutorState: 1369337168 total in 163397 blocks; 248840 free (36 chunks); 1369088328 used

but now we get an increase to:

    ExecutorState: 1369345496 total in 163398 blocks; 248840 free (36 chunks); 1369096656 used

after I did this:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.

So now we have it confirmed don't we? No! No we have not! We stop at the entrance of the allocate method. So when I interrupted, there was no call yet. Then at the next stop the increase was from the previous.
Continuing ... this now is from a stop at the makeBufFileCommon

I don't see a growth between individual invocations. Anyway, these are the two ways to get there:
(gdb) bt 4
#0  AllocSetAlloc (context=0x2a1d190, size=4) at aset.c:718

Continuing.

Breakpoint 3, AllocSetAlloc (context=0x2a1d190, size=394) at aset.c:718

    tupleSlot=0x2ae0ab8, hjstate=0x2a1d920) at nodeHashjoin.c:1277
(More stack frames follow...)

But now it increased
    ExecutorState: 1369353824 total in 163399 blocks; 248792 free (36 chunks); 1369105032 used
It increases every 3 times I stop at the breakpoint.
