[Interest] How to inspect a Qt Application memory usage?

[Nuno Santos]

Elvis,

I have just tried that it resulted in this. I’m not familiar with valgrind output. Does this look good to you?


--45024-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option
--45024-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 2 times)
--45024-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 4 times)
--45024-- UNKNOWN mach_msg unhandled MACH_SEND_TRAILER option (repeated 8 times)
QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.

==45024== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
==45024==  Access not within mapped region at address 0x18
==45024==    at 0x1077D6E3A: _pthread_wqthread (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_pthread.dylib)
==45024==    by 0x1077D6BE8: start_wqthread (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_pthread.dylib)
==45024==  If you believe this happened as a result of a stack
==45024==  overflow in your program's main thread (unlikely but
==45024==  possible), you can try to increase the size of the
==45024==  main thread stack using the --main-stacksize= flag.
==45024==  The main thread stack size used in this run was 8388608.
--45024:0:schedule VG_(sema_down): read returned -4

Thx!
