Monitor memory usage?

[lklawrie]

Does anyone have a nifty small routine that helps one monitor the memory usage of a running program?

Is there one in the samples?

Look at the Win32\ProcessStatus sample.

You could also look at the free Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.comwhich gives you a whole host of info. For example "Working Set", "Virtual Size" I/O reads and writes etc.
I find it useful when debugging for, among other things,showing which files are currently open.

I agree with Les - I find Process Explorer invaluable. But sometimes it can be handy to report the usage at specific points in the program. This won't really tell you exactly how much virtual memory is in use by the application, as the libraries will pre-allocate large chunks for their memory pools.

...

In case of a Windows platform what about a Task Manager or aResource Monitor?

Botheasilyallow to monitor:

- Memory Usage
- Memory Usage Delta
- Peak Memory Usage
- Virtual Memory Size
