*
* @section about About the MEM module
*
* MEM provides guarded malloc/calloc calls. All memory is enclosed by
* pads, to detect out-of-bound writes. All blocks are placed in a
* linked list, so they remain reachable at all times. There is no
* back-up in case the linked-list related data is lost.
*
* @section issues Known issues with MEM
*
* There are currently no known issues with MEM. Note that there is a
* second intern/ module with MEM_ prefix, for use in c++.
*
* @section dependencies Dependencies
*
* - stdlib
*
* - stdio

Added new malloc type in our MEM module; using the unix feature 'mmap'. In Orange we've been fighting the past weeks with memory usage a lot... at the moment incredible huge scenes are being rendered, with multiple layers and all compositing, stressing limits of memory a lot. I had hoped that less frequently used blocks would be swapped away nicely, so fragmented memory could survive. Unfortunately (in OSX) the malloc range is limited to 2 GB only (upped half of address space). Other OS's have a limit too, but typically larger afaik. Now here's mmap to the rescue! It has a very nice feature to map to a virtual (non existing) file, allowing to allocate disk-mapped memory on the fly. For as long there's real memory it works nearly as fast as a regular malloc, and when you go to the swap boundary, it knows nicely what to swap first. The upcoming commit will use mmap for all large memory blocks, like the composit stack, render layers, lamp buffers and images. Tested here on my 1 GB system, and compositing huge images with a total of 2.5 gig still works acceptable here. :) http://www.blender.org/bf/memory.jpg This is a silly composit test, using 64 MB images with a load of nodes. Check the header print... the (2323.33M) is the mmap disk-cache in use. BTW: note that is still limited to the virtual address space of 4 GB. The new call is: MEM_mapalloc() Per definition, mmap() returns zero'ed memory, so a calloc isn't required. For Windows there's no mmap() available, but I'm pretty sure there's an equivalent. Windows gurus here are invited to insert that here in code! At the moment it's nicely ifdeffed, so for Windows the mmap defaults to a regular alloc.
