Analyzing Memory Consumption of Ada-Programs

Analyzing Memory Consumption of Ada-Programs

[patrick.gunia]

Hi all,

I´m looking for a tool which is able to tell me about the average
memory consumption of my program. I use GNAT on Windows with gprof for
computation time analysis, but I wasn´t able to find a tool for memory
analysis. If such a tool could tell me how much memory is consumed by
different parts of my program, this would be fine, but I would be
satisfied if it just gave me a simple value which describes the
consumption. The reason is that I´d like to compare a refractured
version of a piece of software with the original version, so I can
tell how the memory consumption behaviour was influenced by the
refracturing.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Patrick

For GNAT / Windows, would the Task Manager's "Mem Usage", "Peak Memory
Usage" and "VM Usage" be good enough?

I´ve already tried the task-manager information, which wasn´t enough
for my needs. But I found Microsofts Process Explorer which is able to
show much more information on memory and cpu-usage. I guess that this
should work. Though I´m still interested in more sophisticated tools
like some kind of memory-gprof for windows...I found that valgrind
might be the right tool for this, but it can´t be used in windows.
Rational Purify is another, but as I´m still studying I can´t afford a
legal license. What kind of tools do you use for this purpose?

Sysinternals has also released VMMap, which shows memory consumption in
great detail. Maybe this is what you want.

Thanks, this looks good on a first glance, I´ll give it a try!

Sirrah,

I thank you for the amusing insight into refactoring :)

You're not the only one who enjoyed that one.

hm...don´t know why I wrote that, but in the end you all understood
what I meant!
hopefully my refactored code doesn´t contain too many fractures!
