Re: Debugging memory allocation

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/05/10]

I already have a function to get memory usage,
borrowed from Zpache::SizeLimit and modified.

sub linux_memory_size {
  my($size, $resident, $share) = (0, 0, 0);
  
  my $file = "/proc/self/statm";
  if (open my $fh, "<$file") {
    ($size, $resident, $share) = split /\s/, scalar
<$fh>;
    close $fh;
  } else {
    error_log("Fatal Error: couldn't access $file");
  }
  
  # linux on intel x86 has 4KB page size...
  #return ($size * 4, $share * 4);
  
  return $size * 4;
}
