[Solved][ATL] Memory error [message #837071]

Hello everyone,

i needed to write a model transformation and thought it would be a good opportunity to familiarize myself with ATL.

So I wrote this transformation, transforming a UML activity diagram into a model representing a CSP program.

My problem is that when I try to launch it it goes quickly to 57% and after a few seconds I have a popup indicating an internal error, and when I click for more information I have this message :

Quote:

An internal error occurred during: "Launching New_configuration".
Java heap space

I tried to transform a small basic model and have the same result.
To only possbility is that I have made an error, but I can't find it.

Perhaps you can find the big mistake I made in my code since you are more used to ATL.

Here is my entire project.

Thanks in advance. Smile

Thanks for your answer.

I already tried it and the only difference is that it takes longer for the error to appear.

And anyway even with the initial setting it is not normal to have a memory error while manipulating such small models.
In my opinion, I have something like an infinite loop in the transformation code. Sad

Hi

I'n not an ATL user, so I cannot help you specifically, but if you have
a genuine error you need to obtain a stack trace, and then the locality
of the problem may be clear. You may also find VisualVM useful to
identify particularly profligate allocations. *ResourceSet* (less than
5) and *Resource* (less than 100 of any kind) are good starting checks.

Regards

I no longer have this error.

I've tried many things but in the end the problem was within my launch configuration.
I don't know exactly what the error was but I just deleted my configuration and created a new one and now the transformation runs.

I still have an error but this I can deal with.
Thanks gain for your help.

Hi Olivier,

I have just tried your example, and i face the same problem in this example, as well asd with my own ...

It seems that there is an infinite loop in ATL, leading to the heap space exception.
Delete the workspace metadata and/or reinstall a fresh eclipse does not change anything.

I don't think this problem is solved, and hide a huge bug in the ATL mechanism
