Task Manager doesn’t show the total that the application has allocated from Windows. What it shows (by default) is the working set. The working set is a concept that’s designed to try and minimize page file thrashing in memory-constrained conditions. It’s basically all the pages in memory that the application touches on a regular basis, … Read more
Here, Microsoft uses the names “concurrent” and “background” to describe two versions of the GC it uses in .NET. In the .NET world, the “background collector” is an enhancement over the “concurrent collector” in that it has less restrictions on what application threads can do while the collector is running. A basic GC uses a … Read more
You can pass the once option to have a listener act only once, then remove itself. Docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#Parameters Example: element.addEventListener(‘eventname’, (ev) => { console.log(“event is captured only once.”); // do more stuff… }, { once: true }); From the same docs link above, modern browser support is good, but is not available for Internet Explorer.
A bit of conjecture here. It is possible for an object to be finalized and garbage collected even if there are references to it in local variables on the stack, and even if there is an active call to an instance method of that object on the stack! The requirement is that the object be … Read more
Just Close() all active/existing forms and the application should exit.
The other answer is right, but I thought I should add some info for the sake of completeness. It mainly depends on what you pass to createObjectURL. If you pass a File selected by the user from an <input type=file>, then the blobURI you created is a direct pointer to the file on the user’s … Read more
It’s not explained very well, but as far as I can tell, the server mode is synchronous per core, while the workstation mode is asynchronous. In other words, the workstation mode is intended for a small number of long running applications that need consistent performance. The garbage collection tries to “stay out of the way” … Read more
You can’t set max heap size in .Net unless you host the CLR yourself in a process. Edit: To control the memory allocations of CLR including the max heap size, you need to use the hosting api to host the clr and specifically use the “Memory manager interfaces”, some starter info can be found here … Read more
The short answer To find out how large an object is, I would use a profiler. In YourKit, for example, you can search for the object and then get it to calculate its deep size. This will give a you a fair idea of how much memory would be used if the object were stand … Read more
Java 9 introduces the Cleaner and Cleanable utility classes which take care of wiring up phantom references to a queue and a cleaning thread draining that queue. While this lets you separate out the witness that will perform a post-mortem cleanup after the owning object has died, all the caveats about GC-triggered resource management still … Read more
