Building application with nimble run causes system to crash (out of memory)

[WeebNetsu]

When trying to build Lesson 50 using nimble run, it will quickly use up all my systems RAM and force me to reboot to get it to respond again. This some sort of leak or maybe unhandled memory usage?

I recorded a video to show what happens, I cancelled the execution before my system crashed of course

This seems to be a new issue, since I was previously able to build this without issue.

It seems to produce this bit of info before taking my system for a ride:

Hi, I was able to replicate the same behavior in my computer. I also tried to find any memory leaks with valgrind but I'm not sure how to analyze the result, here is log file after running valgrind --leak-check=full --log-file=./mem-leak-nimble.log nimble run: https://pastebin.com/5Z4JiM9F.

I cannot reproduce this error. I can't compile the code in the first place due to GCC compiler errors (just a NixOS problem). I'm not getting OOM'd.

@WeebNetsu Are you getting this OOM just with nimble run or nimble build as well? If it's just when running the program, that might suggest that the libraries you're using have a memory leak, not Nimble itself.

EDIT: Upon checking the video you attached, htop shows that the Nim compiler itself is consuming lots of memory, not Nimble. I suggest you to create an issue at the Nim compiler repository, not here.

Cool, I created an issue there, thanks for the tip - should I close this issue, or keep it open and close it alongside the Nim issue?

I'd close it. Re-open it if the developers there say that it's a Nimble issue, of which the odds are next-to-nil.
