I have found the following tools to be
indeispensible when working with (and debuggin) DynAPI
(WIN32 - sorry)
This is a ram 'defragmenter'
for Window 32.. the way it works is it allocates as much ram from windows as
it can, which forces windows to swap unused data from physical ram to swap
space.
Then it releases this ram using proper memory
management resulting in more free ram.
It will keep doing this until it gets as close to
the specified amount of free ram as it can.
On my Win98 system which has 128 megs of ram, I
ask it to free up 128 ,egs and it gives me
80 to 100 megs free ram.. Which is damned handy
when one has been re-loading the same DynAPI app over and over again..
It's not a cure for memory leaks but it make
development much easier, and reduces crashes/reboots.
This program is for Window 9X
and closly resembles the Task manager in Windows 2000, with a little extra
functionality.
You can find out how much ram and CPU time each
process is using, what files the process has open and much more.
In fact it was because of my constant observation
of running processes that I discovered last week that I had caught a trojan..
:-)
" what in the hell is this Wininit.exe?!? and
hey! I've never seen DNETC.exe before.. "
Just a couple of tools to hopefully make your
life easier..
Later
