LeakyApp
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LeakyApp is a program with a controllable memory leak used to
|
|||
|
|
test a system under memory stress conditions. LeakyApp has 3
|
|||
|
|
user controls and one display control. When started, LeakyApp
|
|||
|
|
allocates blocks of virtual memory periodically until it is
|
|||
|
|
told to stop or the system runs out of virtual memory to
|
|||
|
|
allocate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The three pushbuttons on the dialog box are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Exit - Frees all memory allocations and terminates
|
|||
|
|
the program.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Start/Stop Starts or stops the memory allocations
|
|||
|
|
Leaking (leaking). When Stopped, any memory that
|
|||
|
|
has been allocated remains so, until the
|
|||
|
|
Reset button is pressed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reset - Frees all allocated memory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The display control, the bar graph at the bottom of the dialog,
|
|||
|
|
displays the amount of paging file in use. Note that this may
|
|||
|
|
indicate 100% even though Leaky App continues to allocate memory.
|
|||
|
|
This is normal as, in most cases, the paging file has room for
|
|||
|
|
expansion. So once the current paging file has been completely
|
|||
|
|
allocated, subsequent allocations will cause the paging file
|
|||
|
|
to be extended. Consequently, the display may show 100% for some
|
|||
|
|
time.
