iPhone: Low memory crash...
- by MacTouch
Once again I'm hunting memory leaks and other crazy mistakes in my code. :)
I have a cache with frequently used files (images, data records etc. with a TTL of about
one week and a size limited cache (100MB)). There are sometimes more then 15000 files in a
directory. On application exit the cache writes an control file with the current cache
size along with other useful information. If the applications crashes for some reason
(sh.. happens sometimes) I have in such case to calculate the size of all files on application start to make sure I know the cache size.
My app crashes at this point because of low memory and I have no clue why.
Memory leak detector does not show any leaks at all. I do not see any too. What's wrong
with the code below? Is there any other fast way to calculate the total size of all files
within a directory on iPhone? Maybe without to enumerate the whole contents of the directory?
The code is executed on the main thread.
NSUInteger result = 0;
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSDirectoryEnumerator *dirEnum = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:path] retain];
int i = 0;
while ([dirEnum nextObject]) {
NSDictionary *attributes = [dirEnum fileAttributes];
NSNumber* fileSize = [attributes objectForKey:NSFileSize];
result += [fileSize unsignedIntValue];
if (++i % 500 == 0) { // I tried lower values too
[pool drain];
}
}
[dirEnum release];
dirEnum = nil;
[pool release];
pool = nil;
Thanks,
