How to determine maximum memory used by a program?
« on: December 31, 2017, 07:24:04 pm »
Hello:

Is there a way to determine the maximum amount of memory that my program used during its' execution?

Thanks,

Rob.

You can get an idea using the values returned by this call:

https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/getfpcheapstatus.html

The interpretation is a bit difficult though.

For information, if the cmem unit is somewhere in "uses" ( http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/CMem ), then GetFPCHeapStatus returns 0 for all memory quantities (normal behaviour).
