Any problems with pmcputemp?

[OldAcer]

When looking into excessive CPU & memory use by PaleMoon after being idle (with no IP connection) for 10+ hours, I found that Htop was also reporting 100+ MB usage for pmcputemp.

Haven't seen it since, but haven't let pmcputemp run all the time either.

My slacko64 shows 165Mb usage when polling, momentarily about every 5 sec.

Can you rebuilt pmcputemp with the attached patch and run it for some time?
The patch should fix 2 memory leaks.
I think there's at least one, small memleak left, because mem usage still grows, but much (~10x) slower now.

Can you rebuild pmcputemp with the attached patch

I tried to find a way to contact Michael Amadio, without success.

If that was a traditional, binary patch, would Puppy have a means to incorporate it?

Xenial 7.5 doesn't have a hex editor to look in binaries! pmcputemp.sh is some kind of shell script. Is it called by the pmcputemp binary?

You can easily build pmcputemp from sources yourself, here's how:
- make sure you have appropriate devx.sfs loaded; you can find it here, in either 32 or 64 subdir, depending on which arch you're using,
- download and unpack https://github.com/01micko/pmcputemp/archive/master.zip,
- unpack the patch and put it in the unpacked sources' dir,
- open terminal there and:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 < pmcputemp-memleaks.patch
./configure
make
./pmcputemp

Greetings!
