memusage

memusage is a (some) batteries included memory usage reporting. This crate includes a simple trait MemoryReport that makes it easy to track memory usage in your projects.

Usage

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
memusage = "0.1.0"

The MemoryReport trait includes three associated methods: direct, indirect and children.

direct memory report

Function signature: fn direct() -> usize

The spirit (and implementation) of this memory report is to be equivalent to core::mem::size_of::<Self>(). This method is used mainly for ease of use.

indirect memory report

Function signature: fn indirect(&self) -> usize

This function is used to report the amount of heap (and stack in case of arrays) allocated memory of structs. This method has an associated constant in the trait (ALLOC: bool) which is used to indicate that the object implementing the trait owns memory other than the struct itself.

For example, a Vec<T: MemoryReport> will report the full memory capacity it has reserved: self.capacity() * T::direct().

Code example:

let vec_of_usizes: Vec<usize> = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];

println!("{}", vec_of_usizes.indirect());

children memory report

Function signature: fn children(&self) -> usize

This function is used to report the amount of heap allocated memory of the children of a struct. This method has an associated constant in the trait (CHILD: bool) which is used to indicate that the object implementing the trait has children that may allocate memory.

For example, a Vec<T: MemoryReport> or &[T] will report the memory that the elements they contain have allocated. A Vec<usize> will report 0, as an usize does not allocate memory, but a &[Vec<usize>] will report some memory, as a Vec<usize> does allocate memory.

Code example:

let vec_of_vecs_of_usize: Vec<Vec<usize>> = vec![vec![1], vec![2], vec![3]];

println!("{}", vec_of_vecs_of_usize.children());
