no, it does not. you will have to do that manually. either watch the script
in top or ps or write something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $m = 1024 * 1000;
my $i = '';
for($m * 100, $m * 200, $m * 300, $m * 400,
$m * 500, $m * 600, $m * 700, $m * 800){
print "Allocating $_ bytes memory...\n";
$i = 0 x $_;
undef $i;
}
__END__
the amount of memory that this script is capable of utilizing at the time of
testing does not equal to the amount of memory that are allowed by the OS
though. for example, if the script failed when asking for 800mb of memory,
does it mean the OS is unable to find 800mb of memory or does it mean the
process is not allowed to allocate this much memory? you might have better
luck finding a tool designed for testing memory allocation for your
machine.
