Implementing a C++ memory allocator to track our framework memory usage

• bytehound

  16 3,856 3.8 C

  A memory profiler for Linux.

If you're on Linux (and since you're considering using Valgrind then you must be) you could use something like my Bytehound; you can also script its analysis, so if you'd be interested in e.g. figuring out which libraries allocate how much you can also do that.

• mimalloc

  35 9,447 9.1 C

  mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator with excellent performance.

  

I know you said you’d rather avoid jemalloc or the like, but for a quick set of stats you can LD_PRELOAD something like mimalloc, and use the MIMALLOC_SHOW_STATS=1 environment variable to get some coarse grained usage stats of allocations and frees.
