-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list,
I'm writing a little module to calculate the size of given objects, I just need a few little pointers to get the thing into a useful shape. Code here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~port001/Code/PySizeof/ The points I'm confused about are: 1. My method of determining the malloc() overhead is probably laughable, what's the correct method? 2. I'm at a loss as how to calculate the size of a long object -- any tips? 3. How much memory do instance, module and instancemethod objects hold? You'll notice I'm getting the size of most objects internal structures, what structures' size should I be measuring for such objects? 4. When calculating the size of a dict, if it contains more than the initial ma_smalltable size (8) should I be subtracting 8 from the len() number multiplied with the size of a dict entry? See line 73 in pysizeof.py No doubt there are some other glaring mistakes :) Many thanks to anyone bored enough to review this code. - -- Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD7S6XefZ4eWAXRGIRAre2AJ4nf//qF/O9B+IhVgdQOj+1rLePZwCaAhvH 7FoGfjjhlm4bH4ZoQY+b+SA= =C3np -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
