Re: Finding Mem Leaks in Windows Mobile

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I would also recommend AppVerifier. It is not ideal and sometimes hard to
configure, but from my experience it is the best available tool. What is
your exact problem with AppVerifier?

Is there a way to get the physical memory
usage for a process in WinCE/WinMo?
For heap allocated blocks you can enumerate all heaps for a process using
Toolhelp API and calculate the total.

In the past in developing desktop code, I have used _CrtMemCheckpoint
and _CrtMemDifference methods and code checkpoints to find memory
leaks in my code. This was a very simple technique that got results.
Such methods do not appear to be supported in WinCE and WinMo. Online
info on this subject typically suggests using the Application Verifier
that is included with the CE Test Kit (CETK). I have had a very
difficult time getting the verifier to run and then to show me where
my leak is. For this reason, I thought about writing a very simple
class that would support acquiring snapshots of my processes physical
memory usage. I was able to find the GlobalMemoryStatus() method to
get a snapshot of all processes, but I am having trouble finding a
method or technique that will give me the physical memory used by my
process (given its handle). Is there a way to get the physical memory
usage for a process in WinCE/WinMo?
