[Nfd-dev] ndnputchunks memory usage increases linearly with MAX_NDN_PACKET_SIZE

[Susmit]

Hi All,

I am bit baffled by this:

I found that the ndnputchunk producers's (in
ndn-tools/tools/chunks/putchunks/producer.cpp) memory usage increases
linearly with max packet size in cxx. It seems to be in the block
where data packets are assigned final block ID and signed (line 134).

Here is the strange part, everything seems to be correct in the
chunk.cpp/chunk.hpp, I printed the encoded size of the data packet
after data is signed and it seems correct. I am running master for
tools and 0.6.0 for cxx and NFD.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Change the MAX_NDN_PACKET_SIZE to a large value, e.g., 1GB
2. Create a 10 MB text file, base64 /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 > 10MB.txt
3. Try to load the said 10MB text file using smaller chunk size
ndnputchunks -s 8800 /test < 10MB.txt
4. Watch your free memory : watch -n 1 free -m

Can someone try to reproduce this?

Thanks for your help!
