How is MFC app commiting to virtual memory? - visual-c++

I am working on an MFC app that seems to be automagically committing to ~160MB of virtual memory. The app typically runs at 10-14MB of memory usage so this level of committed memory seems excessive. Additionally there is no where in the code where VirtualAlloc is called...
COM & ATL are also being used.
The memory shows as committed the instance the process launches, before a breakpoint in __tmainCRTStartup can be reached.
How can this memory be reserved/committed?
Thanks in advance!

The only reason can be a DLL you use. I've used MFC 7.0 and 9.0 for many projects and can tell you that they don't commit this lot of memory.

Turned out there was some "legacy" code using a static array of custom objects that allocated around 1000 extra elements, so changing this to use a std::vector alleviated this issue completely...

node.js memory leak with cluster and express

I am using the node.js 6.11.3 ,cluster module, express 4.14
Seeing memory leaks slowly over a period of 1 weeks.
attached is a screenshot of the heap dumps in chrome dev tools. Cant tell the reason for the leak.click for heap dump
Unfortunately, nobody can answer where your leak comes from without accessing the entire application and environment. The real question is how do you debug a node memory leak.
First its important to try to understand how memory leaks occur in Node. How is it possible if Node has built in garbage collection? Well, variables are marked as garbage when no longer referenced. If you have code (closures etc) that still hold reference to variables, they are not collected. That is just one example. There are also dependencies that can cause memory leaks which can confuse you into thinking you have issues in your own code. And maybe you do, in the way you use the dependency.
Bottom line, its best to get familiar with this debugging process yourself so that you can understand the issues leading to the leak. Best of luck. Here is one article that is helpful.

Jboss-6.1 Application running very slow

my application is running on jboss 6.1, and after few days my applications runs very slow., this is the situation I am facing every week,. for this I am killing java and clearing the temp and work folders and restarting the jboss again. Is there any other ways to clean the memory / manage the application. Kindly give me the suggestions for Linux and windows platforms.
Kindly help any one.
Thanks & Regards,
Sharath
Based on your RAM size of the system you can increase following parameters in run.conf(for linux) or run.conf.bat(for windows):
XMS, XMX, MaxPermSize.
-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
The flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool.
MaxPermSize are used to set size for Permanent Generation
The Permanent Generation is where class files are kept. These are the result of compiled classes and jsp pages. If this space is full, it triggers a Full Garbage Collection. If the Full Garbage Collection cannot clean out old unreferenced classes and there is no room left to expand the Permanent Space, an Out‐of‐ Memory error (OOME) is thrown and the JVM will crash
Hope you are aware of these three flags.

System.OutOfMemoryException error

We are working on a rich client application in which many threads are running as well third party controls are used, after running application for 1 hour it starts giving error of 'System.OutOfMemoryException' unless and until we restart the application, i have search many sites for help but no particular and specified reason is giving.
Thanks.
It sounds pretty self-explanatory, you're system doesn't have enough memory. If you're still running the application as 32-bit then moving to 64-bit might solve the problem. I had exactly that problem on a server-2008-r2 recently, and moving to 64 bit did solve my problem. But if you're already 64 bit then perhaps the server doesn't have enough physical memory. In which case, you need to add more memory, or work out how to make your application less memory hungry. There could be objects that could be discarded that it's keeping references to, etc, and if that's the case you should try profiling to try and identify what's hogging the most memory. Beyond that, does the application use any unmanaged DLLs, e.g. COM objects written in C++ or similar. Maybe there's a memory leak outside of the managed framework?
I recommend using a profiler to identify and find where does the high memory consumption come from.

How to use IntelliTrace Standalone Collector to detect memory leaks in production .Net applications?

Visual Studio 2012RC has the ability to use externally collected trace files of IIS app pool data collected by the IntellitTrace Standalone Collector. I know that in my production app there is some kind of memory leak that is apparent after a few hours of monitoring.
I now have my large iTrace file ready to plug into VS2012, but would like to know how to find the questionable object.
I am also in the process of using the Debugger tools and following these instructions. However, run into an error indicating that the appropriate CLR files (or something like that) are not loaded when trying to do the .load SOS or any other command.
I was hoping to see a similar address list and consumed memory in the IntelliTrace analyzer - is this possible?
Some assistance would be appreciated.
Intellitrace only profiles events and method calls. You won't get information on individual objects or memory leaks because it's not tracking memory. There's also no event provided for object creation/destruction so you can't infer that in any case.
To track memory you will have to use the profiling tools on your app, though don't attach them to your production server! Use a test environment for it and see if you can replicate the problem.

StackOverflowException loading XsltCompiledTransform

i have some big xslt crashing iis (StackOverflowException) when loading an XslCompiledTransform while the old (deprecated) XslTransform works fine.
Is there some known issue with big templates? Strangely enough, the same XslCompiledTransform loads successfully in a win32 application.
Ahh, you know the problem here is more due to IIS (I assume that it is a web app as you are trying it in a Win app too).
IIS (from Win2003 onwards) 'stupidly' only reserves a quarter of the normal stack space given to other programs. This is only 256KB, compared to 1MB.
To work around this issue, you can run this operation in a Thread. In the thread's constructor, you can specify a new stack reserve size. Try increasing the number till it works, without going over the top.
