Syntax
var AllocMemCount: Integer;
Description
AllocMemCount
stores the number of blocks
allocated by Delphi’s memory
manager.
Tips and Tricks
Delphi doesn’t use the
AllocMemCount
variable for anything—it is purely for informational purposes. Changing its value, although pointless, is also harmless.If you write your own memory manager, check
AllocMemCount
before callingSetMemoryManager
.AllocMemCount
should be zero. If it is not, the default memory manager has allocated at least one block. The problem is that Delphi might try to free that block by calling your custom memory manager. Unless your memory manager can handle this situation, it is safest to halt the program.If you write your own memory manager, you can set
AllocMemCount
to reflect the number of blocks allocated by your memory manager.If you use DLLs,
AllocMemCount
might not reflect the blocks allocated in other modules. If you use theShareMem
unit, call itsGetAllocMemCount
function to count the number of blocks it has allocated for all the modules that useShareMem
.
