Comment (by leavengood):
Replying to [comment:14 Barrett]:
I don't agree. If the media_server is not able to detect when a process
exit without releasing stuff (and consequently kick out those resources),
then the whole system is just doomed.
It really is just this one case of the buffers in the cache in
BBufferConsumer, as far as I can see. The normal case now does not leak
buffers, and I think that was 99% of the problem. Since we can associate
buffers in the cache with port_ids now, we should also be able to detect
when a port goes away and then clean up. Well that is at least what I plan
to look at next.
Seriously though, now that I understand this better, I am curious how you
would change it? I know you are annoyed with Haiku and probably me, but I
would actually like your opinion. Because too many things are definitely
involved here and trying to share the same buffers everywhere is the core
issue. If you don't think it can be fixed because of the crazy Media Kit
design, I am starting to agree but unfortunately for the moment we cannot
fix that. Even if it seems dumb to support a 20 year old design there are
people still using it, in fact, one pretty important one: TuneTracker.
