note 116860 added to function.memory-get-usage

Sometimes, we need all memory to run our task, we do ini_set('memory_limit', -1 ), or maximum value we have. To avoid stuck of server on long and memory consuming tasks, i wrote this check. This is not the same as memory_get_usage() do, but more. It shows virtual memory amount, taken by your process. In percents. <?php function getVirtualMemoryTaken() { $pid = getmypid(); $a = ps -p $pid v | awk 'END{print $9}'; return $a*1; } ?> It works only in linux, tested in Ubuntu 14. <?php $a = ' '; do { $a .= $a . $a; } while (getVirtualMemoryTaken() < 20 ); ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 213.219.99.194 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-usage.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116860 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116860 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116860 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
