How to get memory usage of my application and system in swift by programatically
For Swift 3.0 you can use the following function.
func report_memory() {
var taskInfo = mach_task_basic_info()
var count = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout<mach_task_basic_info>.size)/4
let kerr: kern_return_t = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &taskInfo) {
$0.withMemoryRebound(to: integer_t.self, capacity: 1) {
task_info(mach_task_self_, task_flavor_t(MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO), $0, &count)
}
}
if kerr == KERN_SUCCESS {
print("Memory used in bytes: \(taskInfo.resident_size)")
}
else {
print("Error with task_info(): " +
(String(cString: mach_error_string(kerr), encoding: String.Encoding.ascii) ?? "unknown error"))
}
}
mAc's answers but without force unwrapping:
func memoryFootprint() -> String {
// The `TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT` and `TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT` macros are too
// complex for the Swift C importer, so we have to define them ourselves.
let TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout<task_vm_info_data_t>.size / MemoryLayout<integer_t>.size)
guard let offset = MemoryLayout.offset(of: \task_vm_info_data_t.min_address) else {return "memory: NA"}
let TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT = mach_msg_type_number_t(offset / MemoryLayout<integer_t>.size)
var info = task_vm_info_data_t()
var count = TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT
let kr = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &info) { infoPtr in
infoPtr.withMemoryRebound(to: integer_t.self, capacity: Int(count)) { intPtr in
task_info(mach_task_self_, task_flavor_t(TASK_VM_INFO), intPtr, &count)
}
}
guard
kr == KERN_SUCCESS,
count >= TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT
else { return "memory: NA" }
let usedBytes = Float(info.phys_footprint)
let usedBytesInt: UInt64 = UInt64(usedBytes)
let usedMB = usedBytesInt / 1024 / 1024
let usedMBAsString: String = "memory: \(usedMB) MB"
return usedMBAsString
}
Found and tested this on XCode 12.2 and Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6 and it works like charm:
func memoryFootprint() -> Float? {
// The `TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT` and `TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT` macros are too
// complex for the Swift C importer, so we have to define them ourselves.
let TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout<task_vm_info_data_t>.size / MemoryLayout<integer_t>.size)
let TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout.offset(of: \task_vm_info_data_t.min_address)! / MemoryLayout<integer_t>.size)
var info = task_vm_info_data_t()
var count = TASK_VM_INFO_COUNT
let kr = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &info) { infoPtr in
infoPtr.withMemoryRebound(to: integer_t.self, capacity: Int(count)) { intPtr in
task_info(mach_task_self_, task_flavor_t(TASK_VM_INFO), intPtr, &count)
}
}
guard
kr == KERN_SUCCESS,
count >= TASK_VM_INFO_REV1_COUNT
else { return nil }
let usedBytes = Float(info.phys_footprint)
return usedBytes
}
func formattedMemoryFootprint() -> String {
let usedBytes: UInt64? = UInt64(self.memoryFootprint() ?? 0)
let usedMB = Double(usedBytes ?? 0) / 1024 / 1024
let usedMBAsString: String = "Memory Used by App: \(usedMB)MB"
return usedMBAsString
}
Hope this helps someone too :)
