Overview

MemPro is a C++ memory profiler. MemPro shows you a breakdown of all allocations in your application. MemPro can be used to find out what is using the most memory, and can help with tracking down memory leaks and memory corruptions. MemPro also has views on the entire virtual memory, showing reserved, committed and allocated memory.

To use MemPro you need to link your application to the MemProLib library and insert the alloc and free tracking functions into your allocator. MemPro is a separate Windows application that connects to your app via MemProLib using a TCP connection. MemPro records every allocation and free, and generates stats on the memory allocated. You can then analyse this data in various ways.

For instructions on how to use MemPro please view the ReadMe.txt supplied in the download.

Features

Realtime Graph

The realtime graph view shows committed and reserved memory over time. This is useful for spotting trends, such as leaks and fragmentation. It can also export to .csv files for further analysis in Excel.

Callstack Tree

This is your standard tree view showing where memory is allocated. It shows inclusive and exclusive allocations per callstack, and allows sorting by column and expanding/collapsing callstacks. This is the most useful view for tracking down where the memory is going in your application.

Leaks

It's possible to subtract one snapshot from another, and then use any of the views to analyse it. This is great for tracking down memory leaks.

Butterfly View

This is the standard butterfly view of allocations. View the top functions that allocate memory, what those functions call, and what calls those functions. This is useful for singling out specific areas of the code that are allocating too much.

Page View

This view shows all pages available to the process. It can show all free pages, reserved pages and committed pages. You can view the entire address space, and zoom down to a page level and inspect the allocations in a page. This view is invaluable for detecting both virtual address space fragmentation and page fragmentation. It is also useful for getting a handle on how your memory is laid out.

History View

This is a rather special view that's incredibly useful for tracking down memory corruptions (or scribblers). Give it the range of memory that you're interested in and it will collect the history of every allocation and free that happened in that range. You can then scroll through time and find the likely culprit that's causing the corruption.

Allocation Type View

This breaks down the allocations by type. This is a new and slightly experimental view. To get the type information it looks up the allocation file and line number and parses the text. This view will only work if it has access to the matching source code that built the exe. The parser is very simple, it will look at the line of code and try and find the new keyword and then a type name. For example these types will be picked up:
p = new Class()
p = new Class[10]
Limitations of this system are that it won't work if you allocate using macros, it doesn't cope well with templates, and it ignores namespace scope. However, it can still be useful at times.
