WinGrass v.buffer memory issue

Reported by: feppink Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: critical Milestone: 6.4.4
Component: Vector Version: 6.4.3 RCs
Keywords: v.buffer Cc:
CPU: x86-64 Platform: MSWindows 7

Description

System: Windows 7 64-bit Home Basic, GRASS 6.4.3-RC2, core i7 3612QM, 8Gb RAM.

I have a vector map with a 30,131 primitives and well over 700,000 vertices. I want to create buffers of 50,000 map units (meters) around the centroids of the primitives. If I do this, memory usage of v.buffer steadily creeps up and at some point GRASS runs out of memory and terminates v.buffer.

Additional info: I specify no other options for v.buffer apart from the units for the major axis. Memory issue starts occurring during "Breaking boundaries".

If possible, try GRASS 7, because v.buffer only works correctly in GRASS 7 and vector memory consumption is much less.

Can you make the input vector map available and post the exact command used to calculate buffers?

Replying to feppink:

System: Windows 7 64-bit Home Basic, GRASS 6.4.3-RC2, core i7 3612QM, 8Gb RAM.

Here Linux, GRASS 6.4.svn (r59970), 8 GB RAM.

I have made a test with the current v.buffer (which itself now uses GEOS), no (more?) memory issues:

No response on original issue for > 1 year, v.buffer is meanwhile based on GEOS.

Closing, feel free to reopen if needed.
