error calling plugin_processBlock() : not enough memory

[nandoflorestan]

I have a MIDI effect that, after a while, errors out with the message

error calling plugin_processBlock() : not enough memory

and stops doing anything.

My code is the following:

require "include/protoplug"
-- Use CC 4 to interfere with dynamics on CC 1.

CC = {}
CC.dynamic = 1
CC.interferic = 4

outEvents = {}
Channel = {}
function Channel:new(channelNumber)
	self.__index = self
	local o = {dynamic = 64, interferic = 64, channel = channelNumber}
	setmetatable(o, self)
	return o
end

function Channel:dynamicEvent(pos)
	local value = math.min(127, math.max(0, self.dynamic + (self.interferic - 64)))
	-- print(self.dynamic, self.interferic, value)
	return midi.Event.control(self.channel, CC.dynamic, value, pos)
end

chan = {}
for i=1, 16 do
	chan[i] = Channel:new(i)
end

function plugin.processBlock(samples, buffer_size, midiBuf)
	for i=0, #outEvents do outEvents[i] = nil end  -- Clear the list

	for ev in midiBuf:eachEvent() do
		if ev:isControl() then
			if CC.dynamic == ev:getControlNumber() then
				chan[ev:getChannel()].dynamic = ev:getControlValue()
				table.insert(outEvents, chan[ev:getChannel()]:dynamicEvent(ev.time))
			elseif CC.interferic == ev:getControlNumber() then
				chan[ev:getChannel()].interferic = ev:getControlValue()
				table.insert(outEvents, chan[ev:getChannel()]:dynamicEvent(ev.time))
			else
				table.insert(outEvents, midi.Event(ev))
			end
		else
			--print(ev)
			table.insert(outEvents, midi.Event(ev))
		end
	end
	refillMIDIBuffer(midiBuf)
end

function refillMIDIBuffer(midiBuf)
	midiBuf:clear()
	for _, e in ipairs(outEvents) do
		midiBuf:addEvent(e)
	end
end

I really don't see why this would complain about memory. Any help appreciated.

By the way, this is happening when running Protoplug in Reaper.

Can anyone help?

This is the last time I am asking for help on this in 2021.

I can't reproduce it. I'm sending it LFOs on CC1 and CC4, and I tried stress-testing it by wrapping the midiBuf:eachEvent loop in another loop that repeats it 1000 times. Haven't tried in Reaper yet. It probably won't help, but you could try running "collectgarbage"

Accidentally closed and submitted a comment with an unfinished sentence, but I guess the message was there!
