I have got another idea. In order to reproduce allocation pattern, there is now

HEAPLOG

flag. If in main config, heap will produce a log of allocation (to heap.log file at exe dir) so that it can be reproduced and optimized.

heap.log is long, but should be highly compressible.

Hi Mirek,

My application started to crash maybe about a week or so ago after updating uppsrc from SVN. Now I got some time to investigate and it seems my app:

- Crashes strangely in different places with current SVN if I compile MSBT19x64 Release
- Works OK with current SVN when compiling with MSBT17x64 Debug or MSBT19x64 Debug
- Works OK with current SVN if I use flag USEMALLOC and compile with MSBT19x64 Release
- Works OK with SVN 13068 compiling with MSBT17x64 Release

Any idea what's wrong? Is it related to the new allocator?

I added some RLOGs and found that it might crash even somewhere in BufferPainter during Stroke... (did not track it all the way down though). Debugger does not help as it does not crash when compiled in debug mode.

Best regards,

Tom

Probably allocator, thanks for reporting. It is under active development. It would be worth quoting the revision tested - even today I have fixed / changed some things...

You can activate debug info for release mode. Sometimes it is very useful.

Hi Mirek,

Thanks for your reply. I will update from SVN again on Monday morning in the office. Then I will check again. I will also try enabling debug info for release mode.

Thanks and best regards,

Tom

I'm getting a crash with a stack trace below when using MemoryAllocPermanent:

MemoryAllocPermanent seems to be a replacement for malloc.
The same code using MemoryAlloc works fine.
svn@13460, git@cb77bd58b76a15
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

MemoryAllocPermanent is for allocating memory that is not to be freed (aka is "permanent"). You cannot call MemoryFree on it (as it is "permanent" Smile.

Hi Mirek,

I just downloaded SVN 13462 and now it all works OK again... No crashes.

Thanks and best regards,

In addtion to USEMALLOC there is now HEAPOVERRIDE flag that kicks out all Memory* definitions, allowing you to replace the whole allocator with something else than malloc.

Thanks a lot!

P.S. Documentation for MemoryLimitKb has a typo ...

Any chance to get allocator retested? If still unsatisfactory, send me allocation log?

Yes, I can do that, but that will take me a few weeks. My apps are currently in broken state.

Could you please add info about HEAPOVERRIDE and MemoryOptions (it is just briefly mentioned in docs) to documentation?

Also linking to / embedding of Resolving memory leaks into Heap docs would be great because otherwise this info is distributed among multiple topics and is hard to find. I personally didn't know about the --memory-breakpoint__ trick.

And, I guess, it is possible to add new allocators to U++ via plugins now ...

I checked "Heap implementation" article from "Help Topics" (which for some reason is not published on web), and it looks like it doesn't match current state of the allocator.

I'm trying to get minimum value of alignment of allocated memory. From a simple test below
	size_t sz = 0;
	void* m = nullptr;
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);
	m = MemoryAlloc(1);
	sz = GetMemoryBlockSize(m);

I got that min alignment is 32. Is this correct?
And min block size is 28. This is a little bit weird.
This message states that "the smallest allocation has size 32 and is 32 bytes aligned", which doesn't match the help topic.

Is it possible to expose allocator-related info via a public enum?
Knowing min alignment is critical. Info about block sizes is also important.

TIA

The problem is that the minimal block size is different in debug, as it adds fences everywhere.

In release, 32 holds true.
