Windows
Some of the above values are easily available from the appropriate WIN32 API, I just list them here for completeness. Others, however, need to be obtained from the Performance Data Helper libary (PDH), which is a bit "unintuitive" and takes a lot of painful trial and error to get to work. (At least it took me quite a while, perhaps I've been only a bit stupid...)
Note: for clarity all error checking has been omitted from the following code. Do check the return codes...!
- Total Virtual Memory:
#include "windows.h"
MEMORYSTATUSEX memInfo;
memInfo.dwLength = sizeof(MEMORYSTATUSEX);
GlobalMemoryStatusEx(&memInfo);
DWORDLONG totalVirtualMem = memInfo.ullTotalPageFile;
Note: The name "TotalPageFile" is a bit misleading here. In reality this parameter gives the "Virtual Memory Size", which is size of swap file plus installed RAM.
- Virtual Memory currently used:
Same code as in "Total Virtual Memory" and then
DWORDLONG virtualMemUsed = memInfo.ullTotalPageFile - memInfo.ullAvailPageFile;
- Virtual Memory currently used by current process:
#include "windows.h"
#include "psapi.h"
PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS_EX pmc;
GetProcessMemoryInfo(GetCurrentProcess(), &pmc, sizeof(pmc));
SIZE_T virtualMemUsedByMe = pmc.PrivateUsage;
- Total Physical Memory (RAM):
Same code as in "Total Virtual Memory" and then
DWORDLONG totalPhysMem = memInfo.ullTotalPhys;
- Physical Memory currently used:
Same code as in "Total Virtual Memory" and then
DWORDLONG physMemUsed = memInfo.ullTotalPhys - memInfo.ullAvailPhys;
- Physical Memory currently used by current process:
Same code as in "Virtual Memory currently used by current process" and then

Linux
On Linux the choice that seemed obvious at first was to use the POSIX APIs like getrusage() etc. I spent some time trying to get this to work, but never got meaningful values. When I finally checked the kernel sources themselves, I found out that apparently these APIs are not yet completely implemented as of Linux kernel 2.6!?
In the end I got all values via a combination of reading the pseudo-filesystem /proc and kernel calls.

//Add other values in next statement to avoid int overflow on right hand side...

Same code as in "Total Virtual Memory" and then
long long virtualMemUsed = memInfo.totalram - memInfo.freeram;

GlobalMemoryStatus
GlobalMemoryStatus,Win32 API函数。
此函数用来获得当前可用的物理和虚拟内存信息,函数定义为:
1 2 3 4 |
|
此函数无返回值,参数是一个指向名为MEMORYSTATUS的结构的指针。函数的返回信息会被存储在MEMORYSTATUS结构中。
此函数用来替代用来支持16位应用程序的GetFreeSpace函数。
2G以上内存建议使用GlobalMemoryStatusEx函数代替(2~4G需要链接器/LARGEADDRESSAWARE选项,4G以上不支持)
应用程序应该在申请内存前调用此函数以防止影响到其他程序运行。
这个函数的返回值是动态的,并且可能返回相同的值。
关于MEMORYSTATUS结构:
结构定义:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
|
结构成员的含义:
dwLength
MEMORYSTATUS结构的大小,在调GlobalMemoryStatus函数前用sizeof()函数求得,用来供函数检测结构的版本。
dwMemoryLoad
返回一个介于0~100之间的值,用来指示当前系统内存的使用率。
dwTotalPhys
返回总的物理内存大小,以字节(byte)为单位。
dwAvailPhys
返回可用的物理内存大小,以字节(byte)为单位。
dwTotalPageFile
显示可以存在页面文件中的字节数。注意这个数值并不表示在页面文件在磁盘上的真实物理大小。
dwAvailPageFile
返回可用的页面文件大小,以字节(byte)为单位。
dwTotalVirtual
返回调用进程的用户模式部分的全部可用虚拟地址空间,以字节(byte)为单位。
dwAvailVirtual
返回调用进程的用户模式部分的实际自由可用的虚拟地址空间,以字节(byte)为单位。
