Hi,
I am seeing some memory leaks in my application and tried various
tools to figure out the cause but haven't been successful so far.
Any pointers regarding the problem would be helpful. The leaks are
seen only on the mac (no noticeable leak on windows) in the order of
10s of MBs (as shown by activity monitor).
- Using the command line tool 'leaks' (with MallocStackLogging)
showed only 0.5MB of memory leak which is far less than the actual amount of leak.
This information does not seem to be correct as the activity monitor
shows the amount of leak to be much larger than this.
- Using MallocDebug showed almost same information as leaks.
- ObjectAlloc showed slightly higher amount of memory leaked but it
incorrectly reported objects that were deleted as leaks. The objects
in question were CF objects wrapped around a ScopedDeleter. Moreover,
ObjectAlloc didn't show a full stack crawl as the functions close to
the top of the stack were missing in some cases.
Leaks/ObjectAlloc etc shows maximum of 1MB memory leak in my app whereas
Activity monitor shows memory increase by few 10s of MBs. What could be going
wrong here? Is it possible that Activity monitor is showing memory increase
even when there is no memory leak? could Activity monitor's memory increase be
just because of fragmentation?
Is there any better tool to find memory leaks on Mac? Is
there any setting of the utilities mentioned above that we could tweak to
get more relevant information?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Sandeep
