Error in TFile->AutoSave();

Hello Rooters

I have a error-crash during a TFile->AutoSave();

my C++ code;

TFile* fTheTreeFile = new TFile(“file.root”, “recreate”);
TTree* = new TTree(“AutoTree”, “Automatic filled Tree”);

// i define branches ( near 5000 leafs of one short )

// in a loop a fill the tree
…fTheTree-> Fill()

// and each 30 seconds a do a save
fTheTreeFile-> cd();
fTheTree->AutoSave();

I run the code in valgrind an a error appears more an more often during fTheTree->AutoSave();
==18992== Warning: set address range perms: large range [0x4d1d6028, 0x5317d3ba) (undefined)
==18992== Warning: set address range perms: large range [0x4d1d6018, 0x5317d3ca) (noaccess)

and after few minutes a crach allways in fTheTree->AutoSave();

18992 new/new[] failed and should throw an exception, but Valgrind
cannot throw exceptions and so is aborting instead. Sorry.

Is it a problem of resources? ( the process reached 1.7 Gbytes)

thanks for your help

[quote]Is it a problem of resources? ( the process reached 1.7 Gbytes)[/quote]Yes, the process is running out of memory.

6,260,173,225 bytes allocated.Seems like a somewhat large number …

Philippe.

The solution for me was to add a fTheTree->FlushBaskets();
juste before fTheTree->AutoSave();

Thanks for you help
