memory checker

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/memory checker

OK, I use Windows Task Manager on the Performance tab to monitor memory use of my game when running and it helped me find a big memory hole in the past. Now when running it I am getting a tiny leak, or at least I think I am (it's hard to moitor a small leak), but it could just be windows or blitz plus messing around.

What I wanted to ask was does anyone know of an app than can be run that records what memory is allocated/freed and when and perhaps which thread or calling process is allocating/freeing the memory? Or even just a better monitor than Task Manager that has a decent graph of memory use.

I found out how to make task manager monitor faster which is a bit better.

btw, does anyone know what Commit Charge is? I could google, but horses mouth and all that.

As I am not running BMax I have no auto garbage collection so I've really got to check it's not my game or sort it if it is!

Thanks in advance

The 'Total Commit Charge' is the total combined amount of physical and virtual memory currently being allocated by your system: it shows you how much memory is 'in use'.
The 'limit' is the maximum amount of memory available (which would be the physical memory + maximum allowed size of your swap file)
The 'peak' shows the maximum amount of memory your computer had allocated at any one point since you started your computer.

cool, thanks.
