I have seen that the AllocSet structure is hid by MemoryContext which 
has only a stderr output interface for its stats. I would need these 
stats internally but maybe this is only my demand for now.


Thanks for attention.

Which means it ends up in the database log files in the common 
configuration where where the database's stderr is redirected to there. 
I even script running this regularly against stuff I'm suspicious of, 
using something like this passed the PID of the process I want to watch:


#!/bin/bash
gdb -p $1 EOF
p MemoryContextStats(TopMemoryContext)
detach
quit
EOF

Is there another way to get it in the source code?
I need to control the size of a memory context on the fly and take
some actions when
the used memory exceeds a defined size.

[HACKERS] Memory context usage

2009-08-27 Thread Adriano Lange
Hi,

How can I get the used memory of a memory context?

Is there some function like:

int getMemoryUsage( MemoryContext )

?

I still working in a subplan cache for a query optimizer and I need to know
whether a temporary memory context is in certain limits.

Thanks

Adriano
