VS Code crashes after build

[davidzanger]

Almost always after building using the command cargo build VS Code crashes and needs to restart the whole editor (see image).

I have the newest versions of the analyzer and rustc installed, but it already happened months ago.

rustc 1.84.0 (9fc6b4312 2025-01-07)
rust-analyzer version: 0.3.2273-standalone (248bd51 2025-01-18)

Any idea how to further investigate this problem?

Can you provide the output of the command "rust-analyzer (debug command): Memory Usage (Clears Database)", just before the crash?

[davidzanger]

Unfortunately, this doesn't work because it won't even execute the command before crashing.

[davidzanger]

But yes, you are right. I looked at the task manager and even after the build is finished, the memory usage still keeps on growing until my 64 GB RAM are full and it crashes. I am only compiling a really small CLI program (<10 MB).

Which process is using that much memory?

[davidzanger]

It is one of the VS Code processes. The rust_analyzer.exe does not consume that much memory.
