It actually happens with all programs that cause a compiler error as far as I can tell, but I don't keep track of my current RAM level and what it should be, so I can't say for sure. Complicating this is that I don't even know how to calculate what the RAM is supposed to be, TI-OS is so unpredictable about that....

I know it is a memory leak because I see almost all my RAM gone and there's not a data structure I can delete that's chewing it up. I have to do a RAM clear. And I'm not sure if it happens all the time. And compiling an error free program doesn't fix it.
This happened to me too, but I don't remember what caused it...

Hmmmm I only ask because I have compiled 3 different programs, introducing compiler errors into each, and I've compiled them over and over again but I can't seem to get an error.  Although i just realized I am running 0.5.0, so maybe the issue is in 0.5.1

Did you press PRGM after recieving the error?

It's not just 0.5.1

I got the same issue with 0.5.0

I'm with Builderboy on this one.  I can't replicate the error.  Just to be clear, what you're describing is that the amount of RAM displayed in the memory management menu before compiling is larger than after compiling when you have an error and scroll to it correct?  To help me debug this, I need more information about how you got there:

* What shell were you compiling for?
* By how much did the memory shrink?
* How large is the source code?
* Approximately how far down the program was the error located?

Hmmm i think i might know why the memory is changing.  If you compile successfully, it creates a program.  If you then recompile and fail, it will *delete* the program, freeing memory.  Maybe this is what you are seeing and thinking its a memory leak?

When it happened to me, I was compiling for no shell, and it filled up pretty much the entire calc's ram. I couldn't archive/unarchive anything. Before compiling I had around 20kb. The source code was about 2k. I don't remember how far down the program the error was located, sorry... (happened a while ago for me)

Yes, this is what it says on the FREE RAM row in the mem management menu
I wasn't compiling for a shell
I only noticed when I tried to run the program once I finally got it compiled and I got an ERR:MEMORY; the Ram was somewhere around 130. Also, it took me several tries to get it error free, and the source is only 396 bytes.
Where the errors occurred kept changing as I fixed them.

Same thing for me. "ERR:MEMORY" and the ram went down to around 100-200.

I think the only way to solve this is to have a copy of the source, since neither me nor Quigibo can replicate it, nor hope to fix it without finding the error.

Unfortunately, I fixed the errors in the program.
I think, though, that it's not linked to one particular program or another, because I've had it happen with other sources.

Maybe it has to do with calc models?  Could be lack of extra ram pages or something...
Can't say it's ever happened to me personally in any version, been using 050 for the past few months or so.

I have an old model calc, though. =/
