From c204cc47d0a319d0435c4a9ba06e241c2e75ff1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 16:18:25 +0000 Subject: bitbake: cooker/siggen: Empty siggen cache during parsing When parsing recipes its apparent the memory usage of bitbake rises linearly with number of recipes parsed. It shouldn't. Using tracemalloc (thanks for the tip Joshua Lock) it was clear that the dependency information left behind in siggen was the culprit. Add a new method to allow us to drop this information. We don't need it after the recipe has been parsed and hashes calculated (at runtime its different but only the currently executing task would be in memory). This should give signficant memory usage improvements for bitbake and that in turn should help speed on more constrained systems, as well as when used in multiconfig environments.
