TMemStatShow Class Reference

Utility class post-processing the file generated by TMemStat (default memstat.root)

TMemStat records all the calls to malloc and free and write a TTree with the position where the memory is allocated/freed , as well as the number of bytes.

To use the class TMemStat, add the following statement at the beginning of your script or program

TMemStat mm("gnubuiltin");
static constexpr double mm

or in an interactive session do something like:

root > TMemStat mm("gnubuiltin");
root > .x somescript.C
root > .q

another (may be more practical way) is to modify $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc and activate the variable

Root.TMemStat: 1
const char * Root
Definition: TXMLSetup.cxx:46

The file collected by TMemStat is named memstat_ProcessID and can be analyzed and results shown by executing the static function Show. When TMemStat is active it recors every call to malloc/free in a ROOT Tree. You must be careful when running jobs with many millions (or more) of calls to malloc/free because the generated Tree may become very large. The TMemStat constructor TMemStat(const char* system, Int_t buffersize, Int_t maxcalls) has its 3 arguments optional:

Simply do:

static void Show(Double_t update=0.1, Int_t nbigleaks=20, const char *fname="*")
Show results.
Definition: TMemStat.cxx:175

or specifying arguments

root > TMemStat::Show(0.1,20,"mydir/mymemstat.root");

The first argument to Show is the percentage of the time of the original job that produced the file after which the display is updated. By default update=0.1, ie 10 time intervals will be shown. The second argument is nbigleaks. if <=0 canvas2 and canvas3 are not shown The third argument is the imput file name (result of TMemStat). If this argument is omitted, Show will take the most recent file generated by TMemStat.

You can restrict the address range to be analyzed via TMemStatShow::SetAddressRange You can restrict the entry range to be analyzed via TMemStatShow::SetEntryRange

◆ SetAddressRange()

void TMemStatShow::SetAddressRange ( Long64_t  nbytes = 0,
Long64_t  first = 0 
)
static

Specify a memory address range to process (static function).

This function can be used to restrict the range of memory addresses to be analyzed. For example whem TmemStat is run on a 64 bits machine and the results visualized on a 32 bits machine, it might be necessary to restrict the analysis range to the addresses below 2 Gigabytes, eg TMemStatShow::SetMemoryRange(500000000,0); //analyse only the first 500 MBytes

  • first : first address to process (default is 0)
  • nbytes : number of addresses in bytes to process starting at first if 0 (default), then all addresses are processed

Definition at line 141 of file TMemStatShow.cxx.

◆ SetEntryRange()

void TMemStatShow::SetEntryRange ( Long64_t  nentries = 0,
Long64_t  first = 0 
)
static

Specify a range of entries to process (static function)

  • first : first entry to process (default is 0)
  • nentries : number of entries to process starting at first if 0 (default), then all entries are processed call this function when the amount of data collected in the Tree is large and therefore making the analysis slow.

Definition at line 155 of file TMemStatShow.cxx.

◆ Show()

void TMemStatShow::Show ( Double_t  update = 0.1,
Int_t  nbigleaks = 20,
const char *  fname = "*" 
)
static

Function called by TMemStat::Show Open the memstat data file, then call TTree::Draw to precompute the arrays of positions and nbytes per entry.

update is the time interval in the data file in seconds after which the display is updated. For example is the job producing the memstat.root file took 100s to execute, an update of 0.1s will generate 1000 time views of the memory use. the histogram hbigleaks will contain the nbigleaks largest leaks if fname=="*" (default), the most recent file memstat*.root will be taken.
