Method Debug.memory_usage()


Method memory_usage

mapping(string:int) memory_usage()

Description

Check memory usage.

This function is mostly intended for debugging. It delivers a mapping with information about how many arrays/mappings/strings etc. there are currently allocated and how much memory they use.

The entries in the mapping are typically paired, with one named "num_" + SYMBOL + "s" containing a count, and the other named SYMBOL + "_bytes" containing a best effort approximation of the size in bytes.

Note

Exactly what fields this function returns is version dependant.
