Re: Re: Strange memory growth?

I can't be sure, but it may have something to do with those if (1) {} blocks getting optimized away.

It still get's put inside a block:

$ perl -MO=Deparse -e 'if(1) { $foo = "perl" x 1000000; sleep 5; }'
do {
    $foo = 'perl' x 1000000;
    sleep 5
};

You're right, that was silly of me. Also, you would not get a memory growth evry 5 seconds in that case, that would just affect compile time.
