Iterate over all heap instances? [message #537582] Thu, 03 June 2010 02:08 Go to next message

Is there a way to, at runtime, iterate over all heap instances?

My concrete use case is to periodically call Memory_getStats() on all heap instances to determine the memory usage in my app, as well as detect any memory leaks when it completes. The first arg to Memory_getStats() is a heap instance handle, so I'm looking to enumerate all the heap instance handles and call Memory_getStats() on each one.

Thanks.

Yes. You need to know the module to get the instances, however. Every
module that manages instances provides a function that allows one to
iterate over all dynamic (or static) instances.

See http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/C_-_Object_first

Thanks. Doesn't quite meet my use case, though. By design(!) I have no idea what Modules will in my system when I compile my library.

Maybe I can, in my meta-only module's .xdt file, loop over all Modules in the system that inherit from IHeap and somehow generate a function that does what I need. (I can't find all Modules that inherit from IHeap at runtime, can I?)

Given all the <Mod>'s that inherit IHeap, I guess I can then use <Mod>_Object_first()/next() for any dynamic instances and <Mod>_Object_count()/get() for the static instances. Given all that, I could probably call this autogenerated fxn.

Any other suggestions? This isn't trivial to put together, and if there's an easier way, I'm looking for it. Rolling Eyes Thanks in advance.

Right (and Right)

Right.

Unfortunately, there is no better way today. Although it is possible to
create the data structures to scan all instances that are created by
modules that inherit a specific interface this would result in a fair
amount of data in systems that don't need (and can't afford) the overhead.

Obviously this can can a configurable option. Contributions are welcome.

FWIW: The first heap example in the RTSC-pedia illustrates a technique
for monitoring memory and checking for memory leaks/overflow and uses
the Object_get() methods to loop over all instances of a heap module:
