Greetings,
Is there a reliable and portable way of getting malloc statistics within
a running C program? I have tried to use the mallinfo() command, but it
isn't portable (reports different things on linux and HP), and Purify
reports memory access violations with it.
At any given point in a program, I would like to grab total used memory
for the process. Does anyone have a good way of doing this?
Thanks
Jason

I use a malloc wrapper (wot I wrote myself) which writes memory usage
information to a log file for later analysis. You could use a similar
technique to track memory usage in a way accessible to your program.
You might want to make it a macro, so that you can easily switch between a
statistics-enabled version and a no-nonsense version (if you'll forgive the
expression).

Dear Sql Server experts:
First off, I am no sql server expert :)
A few months ago I put a database into a production environment.
Recently, It was brought to my attention that a particular query that
executed quite quickly in our dev environment was painfully slow in
production. I analyzed the the plan on the production server (it
looked good), and then tried quite a few tips that I'd gleaned from
reading newsgroups. Nothing worked....

Hello group.
I have an issue, which has bothered me for a while now:
I'm wondering why the column statistics, which SQL Server wants me to
create, if I turn off auto-created statistics, are so important to the
optimizer?
Example: from Northwind (with auto create stats off), I do the following:

Hi
We have a large class library of different classes, now we are going to
implement a lot of usage statistics that we need, stuff like how many times
a user has logged in, how many times a message has been read, how many times
a ad has been shown and so on.
Now I'm wondering what would be a good OO organization of this data, should
the statistics be part of the objects they are for, or should statistics be
seperate.
Perhaps each object...

Consider the following macro:
#define ALLOCIT(Type) ((Type*) malloc (sizeof (Type)))
The intent is to wrap raw memory allocation of N bytes
into a macro which returns allocated chunk of memory
to be used as a Type structure.
The background: I was beaten many times (it surely
is not my exclusive experience) by functions which
return and accept void*. There are such functions,

Howdy,
I was reflecting recently on malloc.
Obviously, for tiny allocations like 20 bytes to strcpy a filename or
something, there's no point putting in a check on the return value of
malloc.
OTOH, if you're allocating a gigabyte for a large array, this might
fail, so you should definitely check for a NULL return.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
