Determine byte size of an object in memory

[Philip Hunt (Enigma)]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how to determine the actual byte size of an object in memory?

 

For example, how would I get the byte size of a serialised CFC?

Might be possible to write to file perhaps? Check the size?

You can probably take a 'Before Heap Size', instantiate your object, and then take an 'After Heap Size'...maybe?

So using the Java Runtime object from CF:

runtime = CreateObject("java","java.lang.Runtime").getRuntime();
freeMemoryBefore = runtime.freeMemory();
//Create Object here
freeMemoryAfter = runtime.freeMemory();
memUsedByObject = freeMemoryBefore - freeMemoryAfter;

May also need to do Garbage collection before and after to ensure accurate results.

Let me know if that actually works cos have not personally tried it! ;-)

I've been playing with the Server monitor a bit.
While it seems to be having issues in production, you could create your object in Application or Session see how big it is?
