Syntax

function GetHeapStatus: THeapStatus;

Description

GetHeapStatus returns a record that contains the status of Delphi’s memory manager. If a new memory manager has been installed and the new one does not use Delphi’s built-in memory manager, all the values in the heap status will be zero. GetHeapStatus is a real function.

Tips and Tricks

Call IsMemoryManagerSet to learn whether a custom memory manager has been installed. If so, the value returned by GetHeapStatus is not necessarily valid.

Example

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  procedure AddFmt(const Fmt: string; Args: array of const);
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(Format(Fmt, Args));
  end;
var
  Status: THeapStatus;
begin
  Status := GetHeapStatus;
  AddFmt('TotalAddrSpace = %d', [Status.TotalAddrSpace]);
  AddFmt('TotalUncommitted = %d', [Status.TotalUncommitted]);
  AddFmt('TotalCommitted = %d', [Status.TotalCommitted]);
  AddFmt('TotalAllocated = %d', [Status.TotalAllocated]);
  AddFmt('TotalFree = %d', [Status.TotalFree]);
  AddFmt('FreeSmall = %d', [Status.FreeSmall]);
  AddFmt('FreeBig = %d', [Status.FreeBig]);
  AddFmt('Unused = %d', [Status.Unused]);
  AddFmt('Overhead = %d', [Status.Overhead]);
  AddFmt('HeapErrorCode = %d', [Status.HeapErrorCode]);
end;
