I'm searching a command which can get the memory size, something like :

size = MemorySize(memory_id#)

But it doesn't seems to exist in Purebasic...

You can do it with the GlobalSize API command like this:

Code: Select all

Unknown=Random(99999)
MemID=AllocateMemory(1,Unknown,0)
Debug Unknown
Debug GlobalSize_(MemID)

or:

Code: Select all

GlobalMemoryStatus_(Memory.MEMORYSTATUS)

Debug "Memory length: " + Str(Memory\dwLength) + "bit"
Debug Str(Memory\dwMemoryLoad) + "% of memory is being used"
Debug "Total installed memory: " + Str(Memory\dwTotalPhys) + " bytes"
Debug "Available memory for use: " + Str(Memory\dwAvailPhys) + " bytes"
Debug "Total page file size: " + Str(Memory\dwTotalPageFile) + " bytes"
Debug "Page file available for use: " + Str(Memory\dwAvailPageFile) + " bytes"
Debug "Total virtual memory size: " + Str(Memory\dwTotalVirtual) + " bytes"
Debug "Virtual memory available for use: " + Str(Memory\dwAvailVirtual) + " bytes"

Despite what the platform SDK says, I found that I had to manually set the length in the structure (seemed that GlobalMemoryStatus used it as a check to ensure the pointer to the structure was valid).

I'm sure my old Win32 reference manual mentioned that, but not the platform SDK.

Besides, that gets info about the system memory, not the size of the memory already allocated ;p

PB's answer is more shorter, and do exactly what I want, so that's ok
