Memory Usage

[StepanGavrilov]

Hello @Enkelmann!
I have a service that works together with cwe_checker. I run 5 cwe_checker processes in parallel and get this result from memory

Are there any optimization options?

• max_steps=20
• file size avg 2mb

Currently, there are no memory optimization options implemented. I consider cases of excessive memory usage to be bugs, but these usually happen together with runtime explosion problems. Also, 10 GB RAM usage is still an acceptable amount of memory usage from my point of view.

One could optimize memory usage by storing some analysis data on the hard drive or by simply further restricting analysis exactness (which would need not yet implemented analysis options). However, at the moment there is simply not enough developer capacity to implement such features.
