I have a memory problem in an iPhone app, giving me a hard time.
Here is the error message I get:
malloc: * mmap(size=9281536) failed (error code=12)
* error: can't allocate region
I am using ARC for this app, in case that might be useful information.
The code (below) is just using a file in the Bundle in order to load a core data entity.
The strange thing is the crash happens only after more than 90 loops;
while it seems to mee that since the size of the "contents" in getting smaller and smaller, the memory request should also get smaller and smaller.
Here is the code, if any one can see a flaw please let me know.
NSString *path,*contents,*lineBuffer;
path=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myFileName" ofType:#"txt"];
contents=[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
int counter=0;
while (counter<10000) {
lineBuffer=[contents substringToIndex:[contents rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet]].location];
contents=[contents substringFromIndex:[lineBuffer length]+1];
newItem=[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"myEntityName"
inManagedObjectContext:context];
[newItem setValue:lineBuffer forKey:#"name"];
request=[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity: [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"myEntityName"
inManagedObjectContext:context]];
error=nil;
[context save:&error];
counter++;
}
I finally solved the problem using NSMutableString instead of NSString for contents.
And then using : [contents deleteCharactersInRange:range];
maintaining range adequately of course.
inside the loop.

I have a pretty weird problem. I'm using coredata to save notes. I can access/save/edit all the attributes of the "Notes" entity, besides one : category.
-(void)editCategory {
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc]init];
NSEntityDescription *categRequest = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"Notes" inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext];
request.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"text = %#", noteToEdit];
[request setEntity:categRequest];
//Error handling
NSError *error = nil;
NSMutableArray *mutableFetchResults = [[_managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error]mutableCopy];
if (mutableFetchResults == nil) {
NSLog(#"Error happened : %#", error);
}
Notes *editMe = [mutableFetchResults objectAtIndex:0];
[editMe setCategory:editCategoryText];
NSLog(#"Category from pickerview : %#", editCategoryText);
if (![_managedObjectContext save:&error]) {
NSLog(#"couldnt save : %#", error);
}
}
This line :
[editMe setCategory:editCategoryText];
is crashing. editCategoryText is a string, as the category attribute. The weird thing is that I'm using the exact same piece of code to change the title attribute, and I don't have any problem.

Do you have any idea why this attribute is behaving differently from the others ? Thank you.
Not at a computer so can't test this but:
Get rid of the mutableCopy. executeFetchRequest returns autoreleased objects, which you are then trying to copy, this turns into a garbage pointer, which happens to end up pointing to a string.
Actually it seems like it was a core data bug, I solved it by deleting my app in the simulator, deleting the core data model in xcode, built it again and performed a clean.
I am having an issue running GPUImage. I have modified SimpleVideoFileFilter program(replaced the filter with a chromakeyfilter) and am using my own video. My program is terminating due to the following error:
[AVAssetWriter startWriting] Cannot call method when status is 3'
I have gone through the forums but not sure why the moviewriter is closing and then someone is writing to it.
I am using iPhone4 running iOS 7.0
Any clues are greatly appreciated. Thanks much!
Check whether your destination file exists already. If it does, remove it.
I was trying to add the file to a directory which did not exist. Example : /Videos/Video.mov , leaving it just /Video.mov worked.
Ok, I have a few ideas for you.
When you say "it just shows a frame and never plays the video" we have a good indication that your entire processing pipeline from start to finish is functional exactly once, then stops working.
That tells us that you are stringing things together correctly, but some of the components don't exist longer than a single frame buffer cycle, and subsequently the whole process stops.
it looks like filter and movieWriter are scoped to the class (I'm assuming they're not properties from the lack of an underscore, _filter and _movieWriter). So they will live on after this method has finished (correct me if I'm wrong...)
I think where you are encountering trouble is your (GPUImageView*)displayView
This should probably be declared as a class property (although it could work as just a variable) and then instantiated through the nib or the viewDidLoad method of the view controller.
As you have it now, this line: GPUImageView* filterView = (GPUImageView*)displayView; is making an assignment for filterView which is not used (and therefore unnecessary). It's not clear if displayView really is an instance of GPUImageView or if it will still be in existence when the current method finishes. (in fact you say it "is a UIView that I have programmatically created")
displayView will have to be a subclass of GPUImageView for this whole thing to work, and it will have to be scoped to the class, and not the method.
Declare it like this:
#property (strong, nonatomic)GPUImageView* displayView;
and then instantiate it and add it to your view hierarchy from within viewDidLoad

movieFile2 = [[GPUImageMovie alloc] initWithURL:movieFileURL2];

#Seasia Creative ,I have no enough reputation to add a comment by that list,I create a new list to answer U.
I check the output URL,console log "/var~~~~/tmpmerge.mp4",so i realize that ,i miss a "/" --->"/var~~~~/tmp/merge.mp4".
If the url is no correct, project runs into the same error.
hope to help some.
I follow this nice tutorial http://mipostel.com/index.php/home/70-core-data-migration-standard-migration-part-2 to do my core data migration.
For some strange reason i always get NULL in the mappingModel in these lines:
NSMappingModel *mappingModel = [NSMappingModel mappingModelFromBundles:nil
forSourceModel:sourceModel
destinationModel:destinationModel];
(line 191 in the linked code)
I tried to create a very simple derived version of the model, I recreated a mappingModel a 1000 times, made sure that the mapping model file is in the project directory - but this call always returns NULL.
Anybody has an idea what is wrong here?
ps I was just wondering that setting the migration options is called AFTER the mapping Model is used.
NSURL *storeUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:storePath];
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *pscOptions = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption,
nil];
if (![persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType
configuration:nil
URL:storeUrl
options:pscOptions
error:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Unresolved error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
(lines 123...)
Anyway
Why can't the mapping model be found ?
pss couldn't help holding back :-) this core data migration stuff is much too complicated and difficult compared to doing simple SQL DB migration - wasting soooo much time.
So a BIG THANKS in advance!
I followed that same tutorial and ended up having to manualy open my mapping model by URL
NSString *mappingModelPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"mappingModel10" ofType:#"cdm"];
NSLog(#"mapping model path:%#", mappingModelPath);
NSURL *mappingModelUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:mappingModelPath];
NSMappingModel *mappingModel = [[NSMappingModel alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:mappingModelUrl];
I found the file name for my mapping model by looking in my App's bundle.
I have an NSPersistentDocument subclass using NSManagedObject subclasses for my data.
When a new document is opened, I do some initializing of data structures (trivial amount of populating fields). What I've noticed is that the Untitled document gets autosaved, and when the application re-opens, that document gets loaded. If the application quits, the user doesn't (by default) get prompted with the save dialog. If the window closes, the user does.
First question:
I want to call up the save dialog when the user quits the application. I don't want this Untitled document hanging around (under normal circumstances). I either want it saved or trashed.
I attempted to fill out:
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(NSNotification *)aNotification
In order to trigger the document to be saved. Calling save: on the context at this point gives an error. From what I can tell, this is because the user hasn't yet saved the file on their own. In addition, calling [self close]; or [[self windowForSheet] close]; close the window without saving.
How can I force the save dialog to come up? How can I trash the untitled document?
Second question (no, I can't count):
Since when the application starts, there may or may not be an Untitled document to deal with, I'm trying to keep track of the state in another model. I've already found that the initial data (to which I referred earlier) is present when the Untitled document came up. My other model has some metadata, including a success flag/state for the populated data. Once the populated data is all in place and correct, the state indicates as such. Unfortunately, while my populated data is being loaded when the app starts with a pre-existing Untitled document, the metadata class is not.
Please excuse the roughness of the code, at this point, I'm mucking it up until I can see that it's working how I want before I polish it back off:
- (bool) createGameState {
NSEntityDescription* description = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:[GameState name] inManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]];
NSFetchRequest* req = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[req setEntity:description];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *array = [[self managedObjectContext] executeFetchRequest:req error:&error];
[req release];
req = nil;
GameState* result = nil;
if (array) {
NSUInteger count = [array count];
if (!count) {
// Create the new GameState.
DebugLog(#"Creating GameState");
result = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:[GameState name] inManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]];
[result setIsLoaded:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]];
} else {
if (count > 1) {
NSLog(#"WARNING: Potentially Corrupt Game State. found: %lu", count);
}
result = [array objectAtIndex:0];
if ([result isLoaded]) {
[self variantLoaded];
} else {
// In this case, we have an aborted set-up. Since the game isn't
// playable, just refuse to create the GameState. This will
// force the user to create a new game.
return NO;
}
}
} else {
DebugLog(#"error: %#", error);
}
[game setState:result];
return result;
}
Note that array is always present, and count is always zero. No, I'm not explicitly calling save: anywhere. I'm relying on the standard auto-save, or the user performing a save.
EDIT:
I installed the Core Data Editor app. It turns out the issue isn't on saving the data, but on loading it. (Note: Due to another issue, the app saves as binary when instructed to save as XML, which causes much head banging.)
I've broken it down to the simplest code, which should pick up all objects of type GameState in an array. It retrieves none, despite there clearly being objects of the appropriate type in the saved file:
NSManagedObjectContext* moc = [self managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription* entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"GameState" inManagedObjectContext:moc];
NSFetchRequest* req = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[req setEntity:entity];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *array = [moc executeFetchRequest:req error:&error];
Array is not null, but [array count] is 0.
At this point, I'm guessing it's something simple that I'm overlooking.
Second EDIT:
I added -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 5 and saved as SQLite. The call to executeFetchRequest does not generate any debug logs. I do see the INSERT INTO ZGAMESTATE entry show up in the logs. It seems that executeFetchRequest is not getting passed to the backend.
Third EDIT (this one burns):
I created a new xcode project, using core data (as I had with the other). I copied just this one function (stubbing where necessary) and plopped a call to it in windowControllerDidLoadNib. In this new project, the code above works.
Found the problem.
I errantly was loading objects in Document's - (id) init call. Moved to windowControllerDidLoadNib (which is what I did in the test version) and it worked fine.
I am writing an application, which stores a huge number of very short strings (mostly one to three unicode chars) and lots of relationships. This results in a massive overhead for storing the relationships in the XML format and even more so in the Binary format (which is strange). So if I use XML or Binary, i get huge files and very long save and load times.
The SQLite format is more compact and saves faster (especially in case of small changes), but for some reason the queries using predicates with format "$something BEGINSWITH[c] fieldInMyObject" do not work, and i can't do without them.
Is there anything i can do to reduce the volume of the files and speed up loading and saving (apart from using SQLite directly)?
Best regards,
Timofey.
UPD
Here is the code for saving the data:
‐ (IBAction) saveAction:(id)sender {
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[self managedObjectContext] commitEditing]) {
NSLog(#"%#:%s unable to commit editing before saving", [self class], _cmd);
}
if (![[self managedObjectContext] save:&error]) {
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] presentError:error];
}
}
And here is the code for loading data (both for creating new files and loading existing ones):
- (void) panelReturnedURL:(NSURL *)url {
NSManagedObjectModel *mom = [self managedObjectModel];
persistentStoreCoordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc]
initWithManagedObjectModel:mom];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType: NSBinaryStoreType
configuration:nil
URL:url
options:nil
error:&error]) {
[NSApp presentError:error];
}
managedObjectContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc] init];
[managedObjectContext setPersistentStoreCoordinator: persistentStoreCoordinator];
[mainWinController window];
}
And i don't don't save when objects are modified, the context is saved when the application quits or when the user explicitly saves it.
XML and binary can be slow for large files because they have to be read entirely into memory in one chunk in order to work. If you have a lot of data your really need to use an SQLite store.
Your problems with the predicate having nothing to do with the SQLite store. That type of predicate is used routinely. I would suggest posting a seperate question with a layout of your entities and the predicate you want to use:
