MemoryLeak: Charge sorter

[jecisc]

In an image, I worked on Change Sorter and after I finished I ran some GC but I still had instances in my image.

It's possible we have a memory leak.

There should be one instance to hold the changes. Now not multiple ones.

Not sure if this is related, but the window title suggests a similar issue:

"a SpecWindow(784367360) named: Dual Change Sorter on: Unnamed on: Unnamed on: Unnamed"

(I'd expect only one "on: Unnamed")

[Ducasse]

Yes :)

It will be fixed with spec 2 synch

Still valid

I don't think this is a memory leak, ChangeSet has always stored a default instance in a singleton.
Avoiding this could mean storing change sets in disk for example. That would require an entire redesign.
I propose to write that down in a wiki as a potential project and close this issue.

Of course, please reopen if there is a concrete issue we can deal with.
