Fast Memory Manager 4.60
Description:
A fast replacement memory manager for Borland Delphi Win32 applications that
scales well under multi-threaded usage, is not prone to memory fragmentation,
and supports shared memory without the use of external .DLL files.
Homepage:
http://fastmm.sourceforge.net
Advantages:
- Fast
- Low overhead. FastMM is designed for an average of 5% and maximum of 10%
overhead per block.
- Supports up to 3GB of user mode address space under Windows 32-bit and 4GB
under Windows 64-bit. Add the "$SetPEFlags $20" option (in curly braces)
to your .dpr to enable this.
- Highly aligned memory blocks. Can be configured for either 8-byte or 16-byte
alignment.
- Good scaling under multi-threaded applications
- Intelligent reallocations. Avoids slow memory move operations through
not performing unneccesary downsizes and by having a minimum percentage
block size growth factor when an in-place block upsize is not possible.
- Resistant to address space fragmentation
- No external DLL required when sharing memory between the application and
external libraries (provided both use this memory manager)
- Optionally reports memory leaks on program shutdown. (This check can be set
to be performed only if Delphi is currently running on the machine, so end
users won't be bothered by the error message.)
- Supports Delphi 4 (or later), C++ Builder 5 (or later), Kylix 3.
Usage:
Delphi:
Place this unit as the very first unit under the "uses" section in your
project's .dpr file. When sharing memory between an application and a DLL
(e.g. when passing a long string or dynamic array to a DLL function), both the
main application and the DLL must be compiled using this memory manager (with
the required conditional defines set). There are some conditional defines
(inside FastMM4Options.inc) that may be used to tweak the memory manager. To
enable support for a user mode address space greater than 2GB you will have to
use the EditBin* tool to set the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag in the EXE header.
This informs Windows x64 or Windows 32-bit (with the /3GB option set) that the
application supports an address space larger than 2GB (up to 4GB). In Delphi 7
and later you can also specify this flag through the compiler directive
{$SetPEFlags $20}
*The EditBin tool ships with the MS Visual C compiler.
C++ Builder 6:
Refer to the instructions inside FastMM4BCB.cpp.

Change log:
Version 1.00 (28 June 2004):
- First version (called PSDMemoryManager). Based on RecyclerMM (free block
stack approach) by Eric Grange.
Version 2.00 (3 November 2004):
- Complete redesign and rewrite from scratch. Name changed to FastMM to
reflect this fact. Uses a linked-list approach. Is faster, has less memory
overhead, and will now catch most bad pointers on FreeMem calls.
Version 3.00 (1 March 2005):
- Another rewrite. Reduced the memory overhead by: (a) not having a separate
memory area for the linked list of free blocks (uses space inside free
blocks themselves) (b) batch managers are allocated as part of chunks (c)
block size lookup table size reduced. This should make FastMM more CPU
cache friendly.
Version 4.00 (7 June 2005):
- Yet another rewrite. FastMM4 is in fact three memory managers in one: Small
blocks (up to a few KB) are managed through the binning model in the same
way as previous versions, medium blocks (from a few KB up to approximately
256K) are allocated in a linked-list fashion, and large blocks are grabbed
directly from the system through VirtualAlloc. This 3-layered design allows
very fast operation with the most frequently used block sizes (small
blocks), while also minimizing fragmentation and imparting significant
overhead savings with blocks larger than a few KB.
Version 4.01 (8 June 2005):
- Added the options "RequireDebugInfoForLeakReporting" and
"RequireIDEPresenceForLeakReporting" as suggested by Pierre Y.
- Fixed the "DelphiIsRunning" function not working under Delphi 5, and
consequently no leak checking. (Reported by Anders Isaksson and Greg.)
Version 4.02 (8 June 2005):
- Fixed the compilation error when both the "AssumeMultiThreaded" and
"CheckHeapForCorruption options were set. (Reported by Francois Malan.)
Version 4.03 (9 June 2005):
- Added descriptive error messages when FastMM4 cannot be installed because
another MM has already been installed or memory has already been allocated.
Version 4.04 (13 June 2005):
- Added a small fixed offset to the size of medium blocks (previously always
exact multiples of 256 bytes). This makes performance problems due to CPU
cache associativity limitations much less likely. (Reported by Craig
Peterson.)
Version 4.05 (17 June 2005):
- Added the Align16Bytes option. Disable this option to drop the 16 byte
alignment restriction and reduce alignment to 8 bytes for the smallest
block sizes. Disabling Align16Bytes should lower memory consumption at the
cost of complicating the use of aligned SSE move instructions. (Suggested
by Craig Peterson.)
- Added a support unit for C++ Builder 6 - Add FastMM4BCB.cpp and
FastMM4.pas to your BCB project to use FastMM instead of the RTL MM. Memory
leak checking is not supported because (unfortunately) once an MM is
installed under BCB you cannot uninstall it... at least not without
modifying the RTL code in exit.c or patching the RTL code runtime. (Thanks
to Jarek Karciarz, Vladimir Ulchenko and Bob Gonder.)
Version 4.06 (22 June 2005):
- Displays the class of all leaked objects on the memory leak report and also
tries to identify leaked long strings. Previously it only displayed the
sizes of all leaked blocks. (Suggested by Ben Taylor.)
- Added support for displaying the sizes of medium and large block memory
leaks. Previously it only displayed details for small block leaks.
Version 4.07 (22 June 2005):
- Fixed the detection of the class of leaked objects not working under
Windows 98/Me.
Version 4.08 (27 June 2005):
- Added a BorlndMM.dpr project to allow you to build a borlndmm.dll that uses
FastMM4 instead of the default memory manager. You may replace the old
DLL in the Delphi \Bin directory to make the IDE use this memory manager
instead.
Version 4.09 (30 June 2005):
- Included a patch fix for the bug affecting replacement borlndmm.dll files
with Delphi 2005 (QC#14007). Compile the patch, close Delphi, and run it
once to patch your vclide90.bpl. You will now be able to use the
replacement borlndmm.dll to speed up the Delphi 2005 IDE as well.
Version 4.10 (7 July 2005):
- 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. Added a
conditional define "NeverUninstall" for this purpose.
- Added the "FullDebugMode" option to pad all blocks with a header and footer
to help you catch memory overwrite bugs in your applications. All blocks
returned to freemem are also zeroed out to help catch bugs involving the
use of previously freed blocks. Also catches attempts at calling virtual
methods of freed objects provided the block in question has not been reused
since the object was freed. Displays stack traces on error to aid debugging.
- Added the "LogErrorsToFile" option to log all errors to a text file in the
same folder as the application.
- Added the "ManualLeakReportingControl" option (suggested by Nahan Hyn) to
enable control over whether the memory leak report should be done or not
via a global variable.
Version 4.11 (7 July 2005):
- Fixed a compilation error under Delphi 2005 due to QC#10922. (Thanks to Joe
Bain and Leonel Togniolli.)
- Fixed leaked object classes not displaying in the leak report in
"FullDebugMode".
Version 4.12 (8 July 2005):
- Moved all the string constants to one place to make it easier to do
translations into other languages. (Thanks to Robert Marquardt.)
- Added support for Kylix. Some functionality is currently missing: No
support for detecting the object class on leaks and also no MM sharing.
(Thanks to Simon Kissel and Fikret Hasovic).
Version 4.13 (11 July 2005):
