Hi, I want to add a precise memory reporting test. One that uses the JSAPI to build some objects and strings whose exact size is knowable, so that I can check that the reported sizes match. (We don't have anything like that currently.)
The obvious way to do this is via a jsapi-test, but there's one big obstacle, which is that I need to be able to use jemalloc and moz_malloc_size_of() to get the size of various allocated heap blocks, and SpiderMonkey doesn't get linked with jemalloc or mozalloc. Another option is to do it all in a C++ browser unit test, which would give me jemalloc, but I need to access some functions and types that aren't visible via the JSAPI. So my current idea is to create a new function in the JSAPI called TestMemoryReporting(), which takes a MallocSizeOf function as a pointer. I'd write a C++ browser unit test (which is linked with jemalloc, AIUI) and call TestMemoryReporting(), passing in moz_malloc_size_of(). That way I satisfy all my constraints. It's a bit ugly, but I can't see a better way to do it. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
