Firstly: I know that this looks really really stupid, but I needed to test this plugin under really heavy stress (lots of huge string writing per second), because I have a thing in my mind to script in the future which uses this plugin a lot (SetGVarString), and I want to be sure it handles lots of messages being written in memory.

Code:
pawn Код:
for( new i = 0; i < 10000; i ++ )
{
    SetGVarString( "HugeMessageForShowOff", gsBigString, i );
    printf( "%d", i );
}
for( new i = 0; i < 10000; i ++ )
{
    SetGVarString( "HugeMessageForShowOff", gsBigString, i );
    printf( "%d", i );
}
(gsBigString is a string with size ~8300, currently around 7300 characters were used to be written)

When I first "loadfs" in console, it writes fine in memory (verified using task manager), but after few more "reloadfs", it takes only few more kilobytes/megabytes (which is ok), but after ~10 "reloadfs" it starts giving these:
pawn Код:

over and over without it crashing the server. I see that this is also a sampGDK problem.

(if I use just one big loop with that gsBigString, it starts giving errors after a few thousands, but at ~90000 (maximum at 99999) it crashes the server)

When I tried it with a timer:
pawn Код:
SetTimerEx( "WorkTimer", 2_000, 0, "i", 0 ); // OnFilterScriptInit

forward WorkTimer( number );
public WorkTimer( number )
{
    for( new i = number; i < number+10000; i ++ )
    {
        SetGVarString( "HugeMessageForShowOff", gsBigString, i );
        printf( "%d", i );
    }
    number = number+10000;
    SetTimerEx( "WorkTimer", 2_000, 0, "i", number );
    return 1;
}
it crashed after "221102":
pawn Код:

(I had more RAM available, 5gb were used out of 8gb)

I want to know if this can be solved, or if I should stay at testing it less agressive.

Did you remove the var on OnFilterScriptExit?

Quote:
Notes
  • Remember to delete GVars when they are no longer needed, particularly when a gamemode or filterscript exits.
  • The optional ID, like the player ID in PVars, must be unique.
  • GVar names are case-insensitive.

This is not really required, it's just a suggestion, to free the memory. This is not the point.

PHP код:
    if (GetGVarInt("g_MySQLcon") == 1)
        return 0; 
It just make compiler crash, how to use it ._.

I thought for a while about it, but I thought that it would be denied from the start, but ... well ... I should try to give this suggestion, it looks useful:

What about 2 IDs per-function ? For example
pawn Код:
native SetGVarInt(const name[], value, id = 0);
would add a new default 0 id parameter:
pawn Код:
native SetGVarInt(const name[], value, id = 0, id2 = 0);
Why ? Well ... for when we need two IDs, of course. The best examples I can give are the house items, the first ID would be house id, and the second ID would be the item id in that house.

For example:
pawn Код:
format( gsString, 64, "HouseItemBuyPrice%d", houseid );
SetGVarInt( gsString, 10000, itemid );
would become:
pawn Код:
SetGVarInt( "HouseItemBuyPrice", 10000, houseid, itemid );

That's not entirely accurate. You're only allocating one element each time. I've only tested integers, but here's what I got by allocating 100,000 unique elements:

pawn Код:
new names[100000][16];
for (new i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    format(names[i], sizeof(names[]), "name_%d", i);
}
pawn Код:
new time = GetTickCount();
for (new i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    SetGVarInt(names[i], i);
}
printf("Time #1: %d", GetTickCount() - time);

time = GetTickCount();
for (new i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    GetGVarInt(names[i]);
}
printf("Time #2: %d", GetTickCount() - time);
Код:
[19:03:10] Time #1: 54
[19:03:10] Time #2: 35
pawn Код:
new time = GetTickCount();
for (new i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    SetSVarInt(names[i], i);
}
printf("Time #1: %d", GetTickCount() - time);
    
time = GetTickCount();
for (new i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    GetSVarInt(names[i], i);
}

SVars are big improvement over properties, but they still seem to be slightly slower than GVars as they increase in number. I assume a hash table implementation wasn't used.

As for your suggestion: yes, I suppose that could be done pretty easily. JernejL also suggested iteration support to me a while back, but I haven't found the time to see about adding it yet.

There's no info about that on the wiki, but I've made this test:
pawn Код:
#include <a_samp>

main()
{
    static const svar_name_prefix[] = "svar";
    new svar_name[sizeof(svar_name_prefix) + 11];
    svar_name = svar_name_prefix;
    for (new i = 0; i < cellmax; ++i)
    {
        valstr(svar_name[4], i);
        new result = SetSVarInt(svar_name, i);
        printf("SVar: %s | Value: %d", svar_name, GetSVarInt(svar_name));
        if (0 == result)
        {
            printf("SVars limit: %d", i);
            break;
        }
    }
}
Output:
Код:
SVar: 0 | Value: 0
SVar: 1 | Value: 1
...
SVar: 1999 | Value: 1999
SVar: 2000 | Value: 0
SVars limit: 2000
Loop starts at 0 and at i = 2000 SetSVarInt returns 0 because it can't create more than 2000 SVars. GetSVarInt returns 0 as well because SVar "svar2000" was not created.

I figured that might have been the case, as with PVars. It doesn't change the outcome of the results much, however.
