  • 0

I’ve used the CF Remote Performance Monitor, however this seems to only track memory initialised in the managed world as opposed to the unmanaged world. Well, I can only presume this as the numbers listed in the profiler are way short of the maximum allowed (32mb on CE 5). Profiling a particular app with the RPM showed me that the total usage of all the caches only manages to get to about 12mb and then slowly shrinks as (I assume) something unmanaged starts to claim more memory. The memory slider in System also shows that the device is very short on memory. If I kill the process the slider shows all the memory coming back. So it must (?) be this managed process that is swallowing the memory.

Is there any simple(ish?) fashion how one can track unmanaged memory usage in some way that might enable me to match it up with the corresponding P/Invoke calls?

EDIT: To all you re-taggers it isn’t .NET, tagging the question like this confuses things. It’s .NETCF / Compact Framework. I know they appear to be similar but they’re different because .NET rocks whereas CF is basically just a wrapper around NotImplementedException.

  1. Try enabling Interop logging.

    Also, if you have access to the code of the native dll you are using, check this out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb630228.aspx
