HOW much RAM will be used in uCLinux by Application


Hi,

My basic system will be working on uCLinux.

There will be few applcations runnig on it.

How will I come to know that my abc application will be using
1. x amount of RAM when executed ( Ofcourse that will depend on how many buffers I allocate in the application , but I cannot sit and count every declaration ).
2. y amuont of Stack bytes will be used while execution.
3. How much STACK should be allocated. ( I understand that for uCLinux application Stack size must be known before hand , how is that possible ?? ).

Is the any IDE which tell this all.

Thanks.

There are no easy answers.

There is no "magic IDE" where you can push a button and determine your exactly memory usage.

You're absolutely going to have to do some investigation, make some "educated guesses" - and then schedule enough time for prototyping and testing to determine if those guesses were accurate or not.

This article might help:

Thanks paulsm4,
I have gone through the link you gave.I was very informative.

Can you tell me how much should the stack size to begin with ( or to start with I can take a "educated guess" ).
Will I be able to come to know that my application have died because
1. there is no stack remaining.
2. My process 2 has corrupted my process 1's data in stack or ram.
does the kernel give some notification.( Like in normal Linux I have seen stack dump which SOMETIMES lead to the cause of kernel panic/Segmentaion fault/Stop Application execution).
Regards
Niraj Kulkarni.
