I need to figure out which part of a linux program that I am running, is taking how much (either percentage, or absolute) memory. I need to create a profile of multiple such programs, so that I can identify some of the bigger consumers of memory in my code, and see if I can optimize them to use less.
I need it on MIPS platform, and unfortunately, Valgrind doesn’t work on MIPS.
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
You could wrap all your calls to
freeandmallocwith your own functions in which you also supply for instance in which file and at what line number each allocation is done. From this information it’s easy to see what memory is being used where.
