Hi, Can anyone offer tips for profiling a program for memory consumption? One of my native compiled applications consumes a too much memory and I'm having a hard time tracking down the source. I did time profiling with gprof and here are the top four consumers: Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls s/call s/call name 21.66 2.38 2.38 1040 0.00 0.00 mark_slice 12.28 3.73 1.35 1035 0.00 0.00 sweep_slice 10.19 4.85 1.12 13611466 0.00 0.00 compare_val 4.73 5.37 0.52 1804453 0.00 0.00 Hashtbl__find_117 I'm assuming mark_slice and sweep_slice are part of the garbage collector. The nature of the program does create a lot of small data structures with short life span, and my hunch this is where the problem lies. Any tips?
