[HELP] Application Process Size in UNIX Enironment

Hi folks,
Recently, I am investigatin a memory leak issue.
I have written a simple C++ program and a Perl script to test on UNIX
environment machine.
I do a for loop to new up 20 char of size 32768 bytes, then delete
them. Please see below:

//// part of the code start ////
for (i=0; i<20; i++) {
ptrA[i] = new (std::nothrow) char[32768];
if (ptrA[i] == 0)
return 1;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_new_up_ptrA[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=19; i>=0; i--) {
delete ptrA[i];
ptrA[i] = NULL;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_delete_ptrA[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=0; i<20; i++) {
ptrB[i] = new (std::nothrow) int(1863);
if (ptrB[i] == 0)
return 1;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_new_up_ptrB[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=19; i>=0; i--) {
delete ptrB[i];
ptrB[i] = 0;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_delete_ptrB[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
//// part of the code end ////

I noticed that the process size only increase for the first 20 new-ups
for ptrA though I loop it for a few rounds.
Then, come to delete, the process size never decreased.
After that, for newing-up ptrB, there is no increasing for process size
also (is this normal?).
Finally, delete ptrB still maintain the process size without
decreasing.

I have 2 question here:
a) When 'delete' a new-up pointer in UNIX environment, the process size
will not be decreased?
b) From my log, why when newing-up my ptrB, there is no increasing
size?

Hope you guys understand my problem. Looking for UNIX or Memory expert
to kill my doubts.
Thanks.

regards,
Vynce

I noticed that the process size only increase for the first 20 new-ups
for ptrA though I loop it for a few rounds.
Then, come to delete, the process size never decreased.
After that, for newing-up ptrB, there is no increasing for process size
also (is this normal?).
Finally, delete ptrB still maintain the process size without
decreasing.

I have 2 question here:
a) When 'delete' a new-up pointer in UNIX environment, the process size
will not be decreased?
b) From my log, why when newing-up my ptrB, there is no increasing
size?

Hope you guys understand my problem. Looking for UNIX or Memory expert
to kill my doubts.
Thanks.

Vynce
Well, the deleted memory is still in your app's process space (in the
free-list) and will be reused to satisfy later allocations. Only when
the app terminates will the memory be returned to the OS.

Yes - repost to the above group for more comprehensive answers. If that
group had an FAQ - this would be on it!

Hi Larry,
do you have any documentation or website that showing the "re-use"
thing by UNIX?
thanks.

Hi folks,
Recently, I am investigatin a memory leak issue.
I have written a simple C++ program and a Perl script to test on UNIX
environment machine.
I do a for loop to new up 20 char of size 32768 bytes, then delete
them. Please see below:

//// part of the code start ////
for (i=0; i<20; i++) {
ptrA[i] = new (std::nothrow) char[32768];
if (ptrA[i] == 0)
return 1;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_new_up_ptrA[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=19; i>=0; i--) {
delete ptrA[i];
ptrA[i] = NULL;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_delete_ptrA[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=0; i<20; i++) {
ptrB[i] = new (std::nothrow) int(1863);
if (ptrB[i] == 0)
return 1;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_new_up_ptrB[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
for (i=19; i>=0; i--) {
delete ptrB[i];
ptrB[i] = 0;
//chk size here
sprintf (strCmd, "perl csize.pl Rnd_%d_delete_ptrB[%d]
%d",j, i, pid);
system(strCmd);
}
//// part of the code end ////

I noticed that the process size only increase for the first 20 new-ups
for ptrA though I loop it for a few rounds.
Then, come to delete, the process size never decreased.
After that, for newing-up ptrB, there is no increasing for process size
also (is this normal?).
Finally, delete ptrB still maintain the process size without
decreasing.

I have 2 question here:
a) When 'delete' a new-up pointer in UNIX environment, the process size
will not be decreased?
That is up to the implementation. A C++ compiler is free to generate code
for new and delete that keep memory around for reuse by the program. There
is no requirement that memory be returned to the OS.

Sometimes, an implementation makes such decisions based upon the size of the
memory chunks you allocate. Try allocating chunks of size 200000 and see
what happens.
b) From my log, why when newing-up my ptrB, there is no increasing
size?
That is because you called delete before. The memory is being reused.

same for ptrB
