General Discussion / Re: Brainstorm: What is Next with OS/2 ?
« Last post by Roderick Klein on April 01, 2025, 08:12:08 am »memory issues:
as I understand, libc uses shared memory.
there were attempts to make it use HighMem.
There were discussions, there were announcements.
there were attempts to patch exe files to use HighMem.
But current situation: you can start Firefox and OpenOffice only 1 time.
if you load this heavy apps then memory is occupied and you should reboot system to use firefox again.
Java VM (I don't remember, does it depend on libc), is consuming low memory too.
Question: what is the current state of libc ? it was modified?
P.S. It's not a claim. I make technical request.
I think its kernel 14.203 from Arca Noae that resolves this issue. High memory with older kernel (if DLL's are loaded high into memory) and then unloaded the memory is not released.
Using the latest ArcaOS kernel this should work.
