Tools/Techniques for Debugging Memory Leaks/Usage Bugs in PHP

I've got a command line script that is running an array() of files through a loop, and using the file name as an argument to call a method on a helper object. Each run through the script, PHP's memory_get_usage reports a larger and larger number 53294264 57019624 61374624 65699176 70230600 75157152 79900392 84630472 89359264 94300016 1...

Displaying the value of a reference to an object

In C++ it is fairly simple to display the actual value of a pointer to an object. For example: // hope this makes sense: (please edit if not) void* p = New CSomething(); cout << p; Is there a way to do something like this in .NET? The value of doing this would/could only be educational, e.g. for purposes of demonstration as in displa...

C APIs for fetching Memory and File Handle count

Image Question for iPad - Memory issues

So I installed my app on my ipad and it crashes due to a memory issue. I figured this was because I'm using really big image files so I went back and reduced them all and essentially cut out about 75% of their size by resizing them and then using PNGCrush. Now, as for running the program, if I have a background image for each of my 4 i...

Is Clang Static Analyzer enough?

Hi guys, I'm new to iphone and objective-c development and want to ask if Clang Static Analyzer is enough for getting rid of memory leaks? I personally found the xcode "Leaks" tool rather difficult to use, besides I've seen some articles, where it reads that it will always show memory leaks, even if there are no any real leaks. If I don...

iPhone Memory warning level=2

Hi Forum I have an app that stacks quite a nice amount of views on top of each other. At some point I receive a Memory warning level2 (which is kind of expected). The thing is, when I run Instruments, I don't have any memory leaks and the app takes up something like 9-10MBs... which is not that much, I'd say? Question is: how much me...

Profiling memory usage in Mathematica

Is there any way to profile the mathkernel memory usage (down to individual variables) other than paying $$$ for their Eclipse plugin (mathematica workbench, iirc)? Right now I finish execution of a program that takes multiple GB's of ram, but the only things that are stored should be ~50MB of data at most, yet mathkernel.exe tends to h...

Does it make any sence to release ivars in appdelegate's dealloc?

Hi, I know that probably it's a good practice to release appdelegate's ivars in its dealloc method, but practically, does it makes any sence? As I understand the appdelegate of an iPhone app will live in memory while the application is running and all memory will be freed anyway when it's closed. Thank you ...

How can I monitor memory usage in Perl on Solaris?

memory size of Python data structure

How do I find out the memory size of a Python data structure? I'm looking for something like: sizeof({1:'hello', 2:'world'}) It is great if it counts every thing recursively. But even a basic non-recursive result helps. Basically I want to get a sense of various implementation options like tuple v.s. list v.s. class in terms of memory...

My Memory Usage Assumption: Is it Correct?

Total daily memory consumption: 17 million mb 86400 seconds in a day. 17000000 / 86400 = 196.76 Assumption: Running this script 1 million times each day will require at least 196.76 dedicated memory. Is my ...

Flex: Firefox memory vs Flash Builder Profiler

When I run my Flex application in Flash Builder's Profiler everything seems to be fine. No memory leaks, but apparently it happends somewhere because Firefox memory and System.totalMemory just keeps increasing until Firefox crashes. Anything I can do to prevent that? I'm guessing it has to do with loading of images since I am loading a ...

How to measure the amount of memory an individual object takes in .NET

Hey all, I'm wondering if there is a simple command or instruction in C#/.NET and/or Visual Studio that can tell me how much memory an individual object is taking up? I have a sneaking suspicion that the sizeof() operator is going to lie to me ... am I justified in this belief? There is a somewhat related question here, but no definit...
