Summary0010252: MemoryProbesCollectorBase does not work properly in my machine
DescriptionI am trying to use the class itk::MemoryProbesCollectorBase in order to
track the memory usage of my ITK based code. I am getting some weird
results, for example, my code takes 1Gb of memory usage (using top command). However the report does not provide such information. In addition
I am getting negative results of memory usage in specific locations of
my code.

I used this code below in order to allocate some memory and see if the
memory collector works fine for a simpler code. However, the report says
that the process takes 0 Kb of memory usage.

I am working on a Suse 11.0 64 bits machine.

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
  itk::MemoryProbesCollectorBase mcollector;

  mcollector.Start( "Update" );

  size_t numberOfBytes = atol(argv[1] );
  char * buffer = new char[numberOfBytes];

  mcollector.Stop( "Update" );
  mcollector.Report();

  delete [] buffer;

  return 0;
}



Additional InformationLuis Ibañez told me that the problem could be located at

Insight/Utilities/kwsys/SystemInformation.cxx

so maybe this class would be the starting point.

 Please convert this into a test, added it to the module.
Also add a delay in seconds (e..g. 10 seconds) between the Start and Stop calls.

 I pushed a patch that implements the suggested test. I think that the delays are unnecessary -- they don't change anything about the process or its memory usage, and the MemoryProbe class only samples when you call stop.

See this patch http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1958 [^]

 http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1958 [^] -- now actually works on OS X and Linux.
