It's +possible it will be present on other hardware as well though it was +not reproducible at the time of this writing on desktop Radeon +hardware or older ATI mobile chips. The bug is documented in <A +HREF="https://jogl.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=166">JOGL Issue +166</A> and a bug has been filed with ATI. You can confirm the +presence of the bug either with the test case in that bug report or by +simply running the Gears demo; if the process size grows over time in +the Task Manager, the memory leak is present on your hardware. For the +time being, you can work around this memory leak by specifying the +system property <CODE>-Djogl.GLContext.nofree</CODE> on the command +line when launching your JOGL applications. There is no good +general-purpose workaround for this bug which behaves well on all +hardware. + +</P> <H3> Solaris, Linux (X11 platforms) </H3> |
