Help finding memory usage

prathamesh.deshpande

Hi All,
I have a program written in VC++. I want to calculate the memory
consumed by each of the individual functions within the program. So
can anyone suggest how this could be done? I need to do this without
overloading my new and delete operators. I also tried using the
windows monitoring service but could not benefit much from it. Also
please suggest if there are in any built windows api to acheive this

Thanks & regards,
Prathamesh

There might be some program that can be used to calculate the memory
used by each function but there are some problems with it. One is that
a function can allocate memory dynamically and the amount allocated
can be determined by a parameter passed, so you can't really tell how
much it takes until you know it's parameters.

Another problem is that due to alignment the amount of memory used on
the stack can vary depending on the compiler-flags used and
architecture you compile on.

If you tell us why you want this someone might be able to give a
better answer. If you are looking to optimize the memory usage of the
program then perhaps a profiler might be useful.

finding/replacing a long binary pattern in a .bin file

by: yaipa | last post by:

What would be the common sense way of finding a binary pattern in a ..bin file, say some 200 bytes, and replacing it with an updated pattern of the same length at the same offset? Also, the pattern can occur on any byte boundary in the file, so chunking through the code at 16 bytes a frame maybe a problem. The file itself isn't so large, maybe 32 kbytes is all and the need for speed is not so great, but the need for accuracy in the...

Large Memory Footprint for Simple .NET Apps

by: Tom | last post by:

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is there a way to reduce this? Tom

High Memory Usage Garbage Collection Question

by: Ian Taite | last post by:

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

Overview: 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,...
