{ Fast Memory Manager: Options Include File Set the default options for FastMM here. } {---------------------------Miscellaneous Options-----------------------------} {Enable this define to align all blocks on 16 byte boundaries so aligned SSE instructions can be used safely. If this option is disabled then some of the smallest block sizes will be 8-byte aligned instead which may Result in a reduction in memory usage. Medium and large blocks are always 16-byte aligned irrespective of this setting.} {.$define Align16Bytes} {Enable to use faster fixed-size move routines when upsizing small blocks. These routines are much faster than the Borland RTL move procedure since they are optimized to move a fixed number of bytes. This option may be used together with the FastMove library for even better performance.} {$define UseCustomFixedSizeMoveRoutines} {Enable this option to use an optimized procedure for moving a memory block of an arbitrary size. Disable this option when using the Fastcode move ("FastMove") library. Using the Fastcode move library allows your whole application to gain from faster move routines, not just the memory manager. It is thus recommended that you use the Fastcode move library in conjunction with this memory manager and disable this option.} {$define UseCustomVariableSizeMoveRoutines} {Enable this option to only install FastMM as the memory manager when the application is running inside the Delphi IDE. This is useful when you want to deploy the same EXE that you use for testing, but only want the debugging features active on development machines. When this option is enabled and the application is not being run inside the IDE debugger, then the default Delphi memory manager will be used (which, since Delphi 2006, is FastMM without FullDebugMode.} {.$define InstallOnlyIfRunningInIDE} {Due to QC#14070 ("Delphi IDE attempts to free memory after the shutdown code of borlndmm.dll has been called"), FastMM cannot be uninstalled safely when used inside a replacement borlndmm.dll for the IDE. Setting this option will circumvent this problem by never uninstalling the memory manager.} {.$define NeverUninstall} {Set this option when you use runtime packages in this application or library. This will automatically set the "AssumeMultiThreaded" option. Note that you have to ensure that FastMM is finalized after all live pointers have been freed - failure to do so will Result in a large leak report followed by a lot of A/Vs. (See the FAQ for more detail.) You may have to combine this option with the NeverUninstall option.} {.$define UseRuntimePackages} {-----------------------Concurrency Management Options------------------------} {Enable to always assume that the application is multithreaded. Enabling this option will cause a significant performance hit with single threaded applications. Enable if you are using multi-threaded third party tools that do not properly set the IsMultiThread variable. Also set this option if you are going to share this memory manager between a single threaded application and a multi-threaded DLL.} {.$define AssumeMultiThreaded} {Enable this option to not call Sleep when a thread contention occurs. This option will improve performance if the ratio of the number of active threads to the number of CPU cores is low (typically < 2). With this option set a thread will usually enter a "busy waiting" loop instead of relinquishing its timeslice when a thread contention occurs, unless UseSwitchToThread is also defined (see below) in which case it will call SwitchToThread instead of Sleep.} {.$define NeverSleepOnThreadContention} {Set this option to call SwitchToThread instead of sitting in a "busy waiting" loop when a thread contention occurs. This is used in conjunction with the NeverSleepOnThreadContention option, and has no effect unless NeverSleepOnThreadContention is also defined. This option may improve performance with many CPU cores and/or threads of different priorities. Note that the SwitchToThread API call is only available on Windows 2000 and later.} {.$define UseSwitchToThread} {-----------------------------Debugging Options-------------------------------} {Enable this option to suppress the generation of debug info for the FastMM4.pas unit. This will prevent the integrated debugger from stepping into the memory manager code.} {.$define NoDebugInfo} {Enable this option to suppress the display of all message dialogs. This is useful in service applications that should not be interrupted.} {.$define NoMessageBoxes} {Set this option to use the Windows API OutputDebugString procedure to output debug strings on startup/shutdown and when errors occur.} {.$define UseOutputDebugString} {Set this option to use the assembly language version which is faster than the pascal version. Disable only for debugging purposes. Setting the CheckHeapForCorruption option automatically disables this option.} {$define ASMVersion} {FastMM always catches attempts to free the same memory block twice, however it can also check for corruption of the memory heap (typically due to the user program overwriting the bounds of allocated memory). These checks are expensive, and this option should thus only be used for debugging purposes. If this option is set then the ASMVersion option is automatically disabled.} {.$define CheckHeapForCorruption} {Enable this option to catch attempts to perform MM operations after FastMM has been uninstalled. With this option set when FastMM is uninstalled it will not install the previous MM, but instead a dummy MM handler that throws an error if any MM operation is attempted. This will catch attempts to use the MM after FastMM has been uninstalled.} {$define DetectMMOperationsAfterUninstall} {Set the following option to do extensive checking of all memory blocks. All blocks are padded with both a header and trailer that are used to verify the integrity of the heap. Freed blocks are also cleared to to ensure that they cannot be reused after being freed. This option slows down memory operations dramatically and should only be used to debug an application that is overwriting memory or reusing freed pointers. Setting this option automatically enables CheckHeapForCorruption and disables ASMVersion. Very important: If you enable this option your application will require the FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll library. If this library is not available you will get an error on startup.} {.$define FullDebugMode} {Set this option to perform "raw" stack traces, i.e. check all entries on the stack for valid return addresses. Note that this is significantly slower than using the stack frame tracing method, but is usually more complete. Has no effect unless FullDebugMode is enabled} {$define RawStackTraces} {Set this option to check for user code that uses an interface of a freed object. Note that this will disable the checking of blocks modified after being freed (the two are not compatible). This option has no effect if FullDebugMode is not also enabled.} {.$define CatchUseOfFreedInterfaces} {Set this option to log all errors to a text file in the same folder as the application. Memory errors (with the FullDebugMode option set) will be appended to the log file. Has no effect if "FullDebugMode" is not set.} {$define LogErrorsToFile} {Set this option to log all memory leaks to a text file in the same folder as the application. Memory leak reports (with the FullDebugMode option set) will be appended to the log file. Has no effect if "LogErrorsToFile" and "FullDebugMode" are not also set. Note that usually all leaks are always logged, even if they are "expected" leaks registered through AddExpectedMemoryLeaks. Expected leaks registered by pointer may be excluded through the HideExpectedLeaksRegisteredByPointer option.} {$define LogMemoryLeakDetailToFile} {Deletes the error log file on startup. No effect if LogErrorsToFile is not also set.} {.$define ClearLogFileOnStartup} {Loads the FASTMM_FullDebugMode.dll dynamically. If the DLL cannot be found then stack traces will not be available. Note that this may cause problems due to a changed DLL unload order when sharing the memory manager. Use with care.} {.$define LoadDebugDLLDynamically} {.$define DoNotInstallIfDLLMissing} {If the FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll file is not available then FastMM will not install itself. No effect unless FullDebugMode and LoadDebugDLLDynamically are also defined.} {FastMM usually allocates large blocks from the topmost available address and medium and small blocks from the lowest available address (This reduces fragmentation somewhat). With this option set all blocks are always allocated from the highest available address. If the process has a >2GB address space and contains bad pointer arithmetic code, this option should help to catch those errors sooner.} {$define AlwaysAllocateTopDown} {Disables the logging of memory dumps together with the other detail for memory errors.} {.$define DisableLoggingOfMemoryDumps} {If FastMM encounters a problem with a memory block inside the FullDebugMode FreeMem handler then an "invalid pointer operation" exception will usually be raised. If the FreeMem occurs while another exception is being handled (perhaps in the try.. finally code) then the original exception will be lost. With this option set FastMM will ignore errors inside FreeMem when an exception is being handled, thus allowing the original exception to propagate.} {$define SuppressFreeMemErrorsInsideException} {Adds support for notification of memory manager events in FullDebugMode. With this define set, the application may assign the OnDebugGetMemFinish, OnDebugFreeMemStart, etc. callbacks in order to be notified when the particular memory manager event occurs.} {.$define FullDebugModeCallBacks} {---------------------------Memory Leak Reporting-----------------------------} {Set this option to enable reporting of memory leaks. Combine it with the two options below for further fine-tuning.} {$define EnableMemoryLeakReporting} {Set this option to suppress the display and logging of expected memory leaks that were registered by pointer. Leaks registered by size or class are often ambiguous, so these expected leaks are always logged to file (in FullDebugMode with the LogMemoryLeakDetailToFile option set) and are never hidden from the leak display if there are more leaks than are expected.} {$define HideExpectedLeaksRegisteredByPointer} {Set this option to require the presence of the Delphi IDE to report memory leaks. This option has no effect if the option "EnableMemoryLeakReporting" is not also set.} {.$define RequireIDEPresenceForLeakReporting} {Set this option to require the program to be run inside the IDE debugger to report memory leaks. This option has no effect if the option "EnableMemoryLeakReporting" is not also set. Note that this option does not work with libraries, only EXE projects.} {$define RequireDebuggerPresenceForLeakReporting} {Set this option to require the presence of debug info ($D+ option) in the compiled unit to perform memory leak checking. This option has no effect if the option "EnableMemoryLeakReporting" is not also set.} {.$define RequireDebugInfoForLeakReporting} {Set this option to enable manual control of the memory leak report. When this option is set the ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown variable (default = false) may be changed to select whether leak reporting should be done or not. When this option is selected then both the variable must be set to true and the other leak checking options must be applicable for the leak checking to be done.} {.$define ManualLeakReportingControl} {Set this option to disable the display of the hint below the memory leak message.} {.$define HideMemoryLeakHintMessage} {--------------------------Instruction Set Options----------------------------} {Set this option to enable the use of MMX instructions. Disabling this option will Result in a slight performance hit, but will enable compatibility with AMD K5, Pentium I and earlier CPUs. MMX is currently only used in the variable size move routines, so if UseCustomVariableSizeMoveRoutines is not set then this option has no effect.} {.$define EnableMMX} {Set this option to force the use of MMX instructions without checking whether the CPU supports it. If this option is disabled then the CPU will be checked for compatibility first, and if MMX is not supported it will fall back to the FPU move code. Has no effect unless EnableMMX is also set.} {$define ForceMMX} {-----------------------Memory Manager Sharing Options------------------------} {Allow sharing of the memory manager between a main application and DLLs that were also compiled with FastMM. This allows you to pass dynamic arrays and long strings to DLL functions provided both are compiled to use FastMM. Sharing will only work if the library that is supposed to share the memory manager was compiled with the "AttemptToUseSharedMM" option set. Note that if the main application is single threaded and the DLL is multi-threaded that you have to set the IsMultiThread variable in the main application to true or it will crash when a thread contention occurs. Note that statically linked DLL files are initialized before the main application, so the main application may well end up sharing a statically loaded DLL's memory manager and not the other way around. } {.$define ShareMM} {Allow sharing of the memory manager by a DLL with other DLLs (or the main application if this is a statically loaded DLL) that were also compiled with FastMM. Set this option with care in dynamically loaded DLLs, because if the DLL that is sharing its MM is unloaded and any other DLL is still sharing the MM then the application will crash. This setting is only relevant for DLL libraries and requires ShareMM to also be set to have any effect. Sharing will only work if the library that is supposed to share the memory manager was compiled with the "AttemptToUseSharedMM" option set. Note that if DLLs are statically linked then they will be initialized before the main application and then the DLL will in fact share its MM with the main application. This option has no effect unless ShareMM is also set.} {.$define ShareMMIfLibrary} {Define this to attempt to share the MM of the main application or other loaded DLLs in the same process that were compiled with ShareMM set. When sharing a memory manager, memory leaks caused by the sharer will not be freed automatically. Take into account that statically linked DLLs are initialized before the main application, so set the sharing options accordingly.} {.$define AttemptToUseSharedMM} {Define this to enable backward compatibility for the memory manager sharing mechanism used by Delphi 2006 and 2007, as well as older FastMM versions.} {$define EnableBackwardCompatibleMMSharing} {-----------------------Security Options------------------------} {Windows clears physical memory before reusing it in another process. However, it is not known how quickly this clearing is performed, so it is conceivable that confidential data may linger in physical memory longer than absolutely necessary. If you're paranoid about this kind of thing, enable this option to clear all freed memory before returning it to the operating system. Note that this incurs a noticeable performance hit.} {.$define ClearMemoryBeforeReturningToOS} {With this option enabled freed memory will immediately be cleared inside the FreeMem routine. This incurs a big performance hit, but may be worthwhile for additional peace of mind when working with highly sensitive data. This option supersedes the ClearMemoryBeforeReturningToOS option.} {.$define AlwaysClearFreedMemory} {--------------------------------Option Grouping------------------------------} {Enabling this option enables FullDebugMode, InstallOnlyIfRunningInIDE and LoadDebugDLLDynamically. Consequently, FastMM will install itself in FullDebugMode if the application is being debugged inside the Delphi IDE. Otherwise the default Delphi memory manager will be used (which is equivalent to the non-FullDebugMode FastMM since Delphi 2006.)} {.$define FullDebugModeInIDE} {Combines the FullDebugMode, LoadDebugDLLDynamically and DoNotInstallIfDLLMissing options. Consequently FastMM will only be installed (In FullDebugMode) when the FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll file is available. This is useful when the same executable will be distributed for both debugging as well as deployment.} {.$define FullDebugModeWhenDLLAvailable} {Group the options you use for release and debug versions below} {$ifdef Release} {Specify the options you use for release versions below} {.$undef FullDebugMode} {.$undef CheckHeapForCorruption} {.$define ASMVersion} {.$undef EnableMemoryLeakReporting} {.$undef UseOutputDebugString} {$else} {Specify the options you use for debugging below} {.$define FullDebugMode} {.$define EnableMemoryLeakReporting} {.$define UseOutputDebugString} {$endif} {--------------------Compilation Options For borlndmm.dll---------------------} {If you're compiling the replacement borlndmm.dll, set the defines below for the kind of dll you require.} {Set this option when compiling the borlndmm.dll} {.$define borlndmmdll} {Set this option if the dll will be used by the Delphi IDE} {.$define dllforide} {Set this option if you're compiling a debug dll} {.$define debugdll} {Do not change anything below this line} {$ifdef borlndmmdll} {$define AssumeMultiThreaded} {$undef HideExpectedLeaksRegisteredByPointer} {$undef RequireDebuggerPresenceForLeakReporting} {$undef RequireDebugInfoForLeakReporting} {$define DetectMMOperationsAfterUninstall} {$undef ManualLeakReportingControl} {$undef ShareMM} {$undef AttemptToUseSharedMM} {$ifdef dllforide} {$define NeverUninstall} {$define HideMemoryLeakHintMessage} {$undef RequireIDEPresenceForLeakReporting} {$ifndef debugdll} {$undef EnableMemoryLeakReporting} {$endif} {$else} {$define EnableMemoryLeakReporting} {$undef NeverUninstall} {$undef HideMemoryLeakHintMessage} {$define RequireIDEPresenceForLeakReporting} {$endif} {$ifdef debugdll} {$define FullDebugMode} {$define RawStackTraces} {$undef CatchUseOfFreedInterfaces} {$define LogErrorsToFile} {$define LogMemoryLeakDetailToFile} {$undef ClearLogFileOnStartup} {$else} {$undef FullDebugMode} {$endif} {$endif} {Move BCB related definitions here, because CB2006/CB2007 can build borlndmm.dll for tracing memory leaks in BCB applications with "Build with Dynamic RTL" switched on} {------------------------------Patch BCB Terminate----------------------------} {To enable the patching for BCB to make uninstallation and leak reporting possible, you may need to add "BCB" definition in "Project Options->Pascal/Delphi Compiler->Defines".
