Hi, I’ve searched around the old mailing lists, and I understand that this is a well-known issue, and that I think it is solved? for v 0.6, but for those still at 0.5, is there any solution/hack/advice? For example, working with IJulia, I just want to plot a function f(x) = tan(x) plot(f,-π,π) t…

It appears the change is too big to be backported to 0.5.1, so you have basically two options: use latest master, as a workaround for 0.5, organize your workflow into modules so that related functions recompile together. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/265

There is a simple solution: use anonymous functions: f(x) = tan(x) plot(x -> f(x), -π, π) f(x) = sin(x) plot(x -> f(x), -π, π) This works because each time you use an anonymous function, it creates a new function: julia> f(x) = 3x f (generic function with 1 method) julia> x -> f(x) (::#15) (ge…

[image] angelv: I assume unused anonymous functions will be cleaned at some point by the GC? Anything unreferenced becomes “garbage” and gets “recycled” at some point by the Garbage Collector. Creating anonymous functions all the time isn’t ideal (even though Julia has drastically decreased …

[image] akis: Anything unreferenced becomes “garbage” and gets “recycled” at some point by the Garbage Collector. Can you provide a link to the part of the codebase where Julia calculates when an anonymous function has become unreferenced?

I had heard once, I believe it was from Jeff, that JITed code was not GCed (at least currently) in Julia. Maybe after @vtjnash fixes #265 in v0.6, it will be possible to reclaim some of that memory.

[image] ScottPJones: JITed code was not GCed (at least currently) in Julia Thanks for the input. You are most probably right about both the “code” part and the “not yet” part. Similar situation with the unused Symbols. Of course those aren’t the kind of things people lose their sleep over (so…
