Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: OpenBSD Packages OS: OpenBSD The nature of KCompTreeNode::remove() doing a recursive removal results in a huge amount of memory usage while trying to remove e.g. long URLs from the Konqueror completion history. This can be easily remedied by making the removal process non-recursive. --- kdecore/kcompletion.cpp.orig Thu Mar 7 11:38:57 2002 +++ kdecore/kcompletion.cpp Wed Apr 2 13:03:55 2003 @@ -704,26 +704,37 @@ return child; } - -// Recursively removes a string from the tree (untested :-) +// Iteratively removes a string from the tree void KCompTreeNode::remove( const QString& string ) { - KCompTreeNode *child = 0L; - - if ( string.isEmpty() ) { - child = find( 0x0 ); - delete myChildren.remove( child ); - return; - } + KCompTreeNode **children = new KCompTreeNode *[string.length() + 1]; + uint i; - QChar ch = string.at(0); - child = find( ch ); - if ( child ) { - child->remove( string.right( string.length() -1 ) ); - if ( child->myChildren.count() == 0 ) { - delete myChildren.remove( child ); + for ( i = 0; i <= string.length(); i++ ) { + QChar ch = string.at(i); + if ( i == 0 ) + children[i] = find( ch ); + else + children[i] = children[i - 1]->find( ch ); + if ( children[i] == NULL ) { + if ( i == 0 ) { + delete children; + return; + } + break; } } + do { + i--; + if ( i == 0 ) { + if ( children[i]->myChildren.count() == 0 ) + delete myChildren.remove(children[i]); + } else if ( i == string.length() || children[i + 1] == NULL || + children[i]->myChildren.count() == 0 ) { + delete children[i - 1]->myChildren.remove(children[i]); + } + } while ( i != 0 ); + delete children; } QStringList KCompletionMatchesWrapper::list() const {
