What did you do?

When working with large codebases gopls seems to be consuming unhealthy amount of memory

Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 17 18 13

this leads to the point that my os is prompting me to force quit the terminal app.

What did you expect to see?

Less memory usage.

What did you see instead?

Excessive amount of memory used by gopls

Can you please follow the memory usage troubleshooting steps and share the memory debug information?

Also, it looks like you have 5 gopls processes running--do you have 5 editors open or just one?
By the way, the latest version of gopls is v0.5.2--please update by running GO111MODULE=on go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest.

Occasionally I might have few instances of different editors opened, yes. Unfortunately, that's necessary due to my work. I shall update gopls and grab the memory debug info soon.

I have not noticed anything weird going on since the last macOS release candidate so I'm closing this. Thanks.
