get size of all allocated memory

HaiboHaibo Member Posts: 187
Hi guys,
is there any way to get total size of allocated memory from a app crash dump?
I know !heap can return details for specific heap, but is there a way to display total size directly?

Regards
Herb

    I'm not sure "total size of allocated memory" has any meaning.  What are
    you hoping to do with this information?  Are you looking for kernel-mode
    memory, or user-mode memory for one process, or for all processes?

    Hi Tim,
    It is about user mode memory, I want to know this because I occasionally see memory allocation failure when analyzing user uploaded dumps, I want to confirm if it is really caused by memory leak.

    The information in !process <pid> 7 should show you memory statistics like this.

    @Tim !process with any flags doesnt provide memory statistics afaik

    @op you can use !vm with 0x10 flag which might provide what you are looking for
