[转贴]How to get the largest available continues memory block

原文地址:http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/?postid=9

Some applications require a huge amount of continues memory. And sometimes, windows is not able to satisfy the request.

To find out the reason of why the virtual memory is badly splited and to get the size of the larges continous memory block, you can use the following code to get the info about the virtual address space:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <windows.h>
 #include <tchar.h>
 #include <psapi.h>
 #pragma comment(lib, "psapi.lib")

  void PrintMemInfo(MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION &mbi)
  {
    if (mbi.State != MEM_FREE)
      return;
    _tprintf(_T("BaseAddress      : 0x%8.8X, 0x%8.8X, 0x%8.8X/n"), 
      mbi.BaseAddress, mbi.AllocationBase, mbi.AllocationProtect);
    _tprintf(_T("RegionSize       : 0x%8.8X/n"), mbi.RegionSize);
    _tprintf(_T("State            : "));
    switch(mbi.State)
    {
    case MEM_COMMIT:
      _tprintf(_T("Commit/n"));
      break;
    case MEM_FREE:
      _tprintf(_T("Free/n"));
      break;
    case MEM_RESERVE:
      _tprintf(_T("Reserve/n"));
      break;
    default:
      _tprintf(_T("Unknown/n"));
      break;
    }
    _tprintf(_T("Type             : "));
    switch(mbi.Type)
    {
    case MEM_IMAGE:
      _tprintf(_T("Image/n"));
      break;

      break;
    default:

      break;
    }
