6 mb MMF2's Debugger

[KICadm]

I would like to know why MMF2's debugger shows 6 mb, even when my application is totally empty, is this the memory required by Runtime or something? :confused:

[Benicle]

Yes - most likely.

6mb is hardly anything anyway.

[SEELE]

An empty 640 by 480 window takes 5.3 megs to display the rest is probably overhead. :grin:

[Benicle]

My edit-time memory usage is 7.3mb and run-time (built) is 1.2mb for an empty 640x480 app.

[SEELE]

HWA?

[Benicle]

Nope. Build 248 beta 7.

It worried me a bit that it used more than yours.

[SEELE]

1.2mb doesn't seem possible... were you looking at the task manager or the actual debugger?

[Benicle]

You can't look at the debugger when you run a built application, the overhead goes down a lot on a compiled file using the run-time versions of all the extensions etc.

Just to clear things up - it's the RAM it takes. An empty application takes about 300kb hard-drive space.

[SEELE]

Since were talking about the task manager it should be noted how inaccurate it is, a little while age someone made his application take some stupidly small amount of ram (like 40kb) but minimizing and maximizing it in a certain way. :grin:
