GetMemoryUsage

This function gets the current application memory usage. You can use this to check for memory leaks.

Due to the limitations of various platforms and the use of garbage collection, the value returned will not be perfectly accurate on all platforms. The application memory usage value can only be considered accurate in Microsoft Visual Studio when running in debug mode.

Syntax

Returns

Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
local camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetRotation(35,0,0)
camera:Move(0,0,-2)
local light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)
       
model = Model:Box()
model:SetColor(0.0,0.0,1.0)

while true do        
        if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

        model:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed(),0)

        Time:Update()
        world:Update()
        world:Render()

        context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha) 
        context:DrawText("Memory usage: "..System:GetMemoryUsage(),2,2)
        context:Sync()
