Using 10GB after only 5 minutes of running VisualD.
Even in a smallish project (~5000 lines), the semantic server eats up an absolute shedload of RAM. It makes my machine unusable.
There seems to be no limit to the amount of memory it uses, I've had it as high as 10GB (see attachment).
There's a memory leak (or 20) in there somewhere.
This doesn't always happen. Sometimes it can go for hours and never use more than 500MB (which is still not great, but is at least acceptable for me). But more often than not, there seems to be some sort of "inflection point" after which the memory usage just grows very quickly and doesn't drop back.
Please let me know how I can help track this down and solve it. It's extremely important to me that this gets resolved. Right now I have to restart visual studio every 2 hours because of this.

hopefully fixed by building the server with dmd instead of LDC (the latter doesn't support precise scanning of the DATA segment) in https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v1.2.0-rc1
In addition, there is now an option to wipe most data if some memory threshold is exceeded.

I have had DMD Semantic Server grow to over ten GB at least twice in a week now. Using VisualD 1.3.0 with VS 2022 Community.
I am using VisualD for debugging a project that links with DWT (current master), and is built with DMD 2.094.2, if that helps.
If this happens again, I suppose can try the option to restart DMDSS.
