Unknown memory blocks in gstreamer runtime memory map

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]


Gireesh,

At a guess, I'd say those are probably thread stacks.

You're measuring the wrong thing - the virtual size of the
application. You don't really need to care about the virtual size -
these thread stacks don't get faulted into actual physical ram.
