My Rust program (Well, game) is leaking memory, 4MB/s.
I've found bytehound helpful for tracking memory leaks: https://github.com/koute/bytehound

Show HN: I wrote a tool in Rust for tracking all allocations in a Linux process
Interesting approach. How is performance compared to something like https://github.com/koute/bytehound

Introducing alloc-track: Precise memory profiling by stack trace and thread.
https://github.com/koute/bytehound is another tool in this space to be aware of

Implementing a C++ memory allocator to track our framework memory usage
Ot sure if it will fit your needs but maybe bytehound is worth looking into.

Memory leak in a long running process.
I had a great success recently with https://github.com/koute/bytehound/issues/86
- Hi, I’m new in rust, I have some expirience with c# and its classes ans structs. I can’t find information about that is happend with struct in rust when I pass it to function argument. Are there some copy effect ?
- Does rust have a visual analysis tool for memory and performance like pprof of golang?
-
Memory freed but not immediately
Try using this: https://github.com/koute/bytehound

Replacing musl's malloc with mimalloc: any ideas?
mimalloc: mimalloc is an open source implementation of malloc, currently the best performing allocator.

Reptar
Some compiler writers thought that was the case, if [0] is related to OP. I don't have a "modern" (after 6th gen) Intel CPU to test it on, but note that most programs are compiled for a relatively generic CPU.

Is the JVM a upside or downside to Scala?
Yes, it's very efficient and that's not where the main problem lies. However, small allocations with modern C heap allocators like mimalloc or snmalloc has gotten extremely efficient as well. Would be interesting to see a benchmark comparison with Java's G1 and ZGC.

Z Garbage Collector: The Next Generation
Memory management for C is not itself a solved problem, not only is there a lot of performance to squeeze out of malloc itself (the benchmarks on https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc exemplifies the variance between the implementations), but it's up to the programmer to implement memory management in the large in an efficient way, which is not an easy task. One sure mark of a slow C program is one with a ton of mallocs and frees strewn all over.

Linux Tech Tips EP#13: Testing Transparent Huge Pages and Cryo Utilities in Gaming | 3700X 6600XT
It's a very terse howto for replacing Factorio's memory allocator with Microsoft's mimalloc, and configuring mimalloc so that memory is always allocated on huge pages by using madvise().

Differences between Lean4 and Koka reference counting
I was wondering if Koka's perceus referencing counting style is any different from the reference counting that Lean4 implements? I understand that both rely upon the mimalloc (https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc) library in the backend.

pmr implementation in c++14
If you are fine with heap allocations then there are only few dozens operator new/delete to override to regain control over normal C++ code memory use. Allocators and STL all need to call those. At least that's what gaming does on all platforms. If you need examples you can check Mimalloc on github ( https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/blob/master/include/mimalloc-new-delete.h ).
