Crash when out of memory instead of error

Manon | Last updated: Feb 02, 2016 10:04AM UTC

When Burp runs out of memory, for example when restoring a large state, it just crashes, and the only way to close it is to kill the process. It should be doable to prevent this situation, and give an error like "insufficient memory for this operation, please restart burp with more memory" or something similar, and to cancel the restore (or the other current operation which is close to causing a memory overflow), instead of just letting the program crash completely. Stacktrace in terminal when Burp runs out of memory when restoring a state: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:2219) at java.util.ArrayList.grow(ArrayList.java:242) at java.util.ArrayList.ensureExplicitCapacity(ArrayList.java:216) at java.util.ArrayList.ensureCapacityInternal(ArrayList.java:208) at java.util.ArrayList.add(ArrayList.java:457) at burp.a6.b(Unknown Source) at burp.ijb.a(Unknown Source) at burp.frd.b(Unknown Source) at burp.frd.a(Unknown Source) at burp.nze.b(Unknown Source) at burp.kpe.a(Unknown Source) at burp.kpe.a(Unknown Source) at burp.klh.a(Unknown Source) at burp.jcb.b(Unknown Source) at burp.kpe.a(Unknown Source) ...etc
