I wish there was a general Win32 KERNEL forum like in the old newsgroups because this is not necessarily a Visual C++ question, but it might be because of usage of CArray template. Not sure.
Overall, I have a 24x7 application and we are experiencing intermittent behavior where the virtual memory climbs so much that the OS either pops up a message or kills the process.
Everything was done software wise, with heap management tools, etc, to analyze memory leaks and they are just not there (or we dont see it). We done extreme stress testing, over loaded it, stressing it with huge memory transactions beyond the
average field operation usage and we dont see the issues.
The only think I can suspect is that there is a "memory fragmentation" issue, and the question I have is this something to pursue as a reason why the VM will climb to a point the OS will just kill the process.
I just recently began using http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default
SysInternals.com <a title="Virtual Memory Map Utility by SysInternal.com (now owned by Microsoft) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd535533
VMMAP tool and want to know what items I should look for here, "Private Bytes" this is something that seems to grow as part of the VM. What about the page and non-page pool sizes?
thanks
