MemPro

Creating an application is hard work especially if your app reaches a certain degree of complexity. A big issue in developing apps is to write them in such a way that they don’t use more memory than they need. In this sense, you have to figure out how each object uses the available memory.

MemPro is a Windows application profiler that can profile all applications with compatible PDB files.

The application uses a transmission control protocol to connect to the targeted app to record information on the memory state. But in order to do so, you first need to compile the application against the MemProLib code by adding some lines to the source code.

Viewing the allocated memory is a four step task. You first need to compile the application using MemProLib, connect to the app, take a snapshot and then open it to view the how memory is distributed.

The application also displays a comprehensive interface that makes it easy to use and navigate. It provides you with buttons that you can use to quickly connect to the application, launch it, take a snapshot and access MemPro settings.

A snapshot contains the state of all the pages found inside the process, information about how much memory is allocated and the allocations that are currently active. The application can also create a full snapshot, that provides you with the content of the entire process memory.

For the snapshots, you get to use different views such as Call Tree, Memory, Functions, Types and Leaks. The Call Tree view displays the place in your application where memory is allocated, while the Functions one breaks it down according to function.

With the above to consider and much more to discover, MemPro is by all means a reliable tool that you can use in the development of your applications, ensuring that they work efficiently.
