I'm 90% certain there's a Memory Leak

htop is showing the hyprland process as progressively using more and more memory as time goes on, never going down. Moving the mouse cursor seems to increase it, though I'm not sure if that's the only cause. No other process has a memory issue like this, leading me to believe that it is a problem with hyprland. This exists when run by both 'start-hyprland' and 'hyprland'.

can you give a flamegraph of memory?

[xlbingo10]

How should I do that for this situation?

How should I do that

Here is a flamegraph for the malloc calls. The spikes look like they line up with how I was moving my mouse when running stackcounts.

If you need a different flamegraph, tell me exactly what you need.

I just checked, CPU usage also spikes whenever I move the mouse, meaning it's likely the same issue as described here.

Tried the workaround described in the aforementioned discussion of putting
hl.config({cursor = {no_hardware_cursors = true,},})
in hyprland.lua, this does stop the ever expanding memory usage, cursor lag, and CPU usage. Obviously it doesn't fix the underlying issue, but it is a good band-aid for now.

that's odd. Is this a regression? if so, a bisect would help

Looks like #14434
