What's the issue if it allocates virtual memory?

Having my app consume 300GB of virtual memory after running for a week is not ideal.

Is it actually resident or is it just mapped but unused?

It does not count under private memory, so I assume mapped but unused. The last time I asked Claude, it said confidently it was a bug in Swift's networking stack, which I doubt.

That’s the great thing about indiscriminately scraping the internet for knowledge.

I’ll bet Claude was channeling some Reddit guru dripping with swagger born from knowing their understanding of coding is far more advanced than most big-shots in the field— especially impressive because they only wandered into /r/LearnProgramming for the first time several months prior.

This guru's comment probably started with "I'll bet" too.

		I see what you did there.

Mapped but unused memory is imaginary (at least, on modern UNIX systems). It's not actually using any physical RAM.

		Well, depends. Not always zero but in a good implementation not more than a few bytes per allocation, at most (if not zero).
