Let's say class A contains instances of B and C. B contains D, E and F whereas C contains instances of G, H and I. So when calculating the size of A, I would like to include size of all of its and its child items. When I use !dumpheap -stats command, the size of A doesn't seem to include all of its containing children, grand-children, grand-grand children.
Is there any way I can get the size of A in such a way within windbg?
I think
!objsize <object address>
is what you're looking for.
However, it works for single objects only (!dumpheap -stat
sums up all objects, but not inclusive). If you want to do it for all objects of that type, you would need !dumpheap -short -type
and a loop.
To address the comment of Marc Sherman:
According to the doc !objsize gets the size of the parent and its children, it doesn't mention grand-children and beyond: "The ObjSize command includes the size of all child objects in addition to the parent."
!dumpheap
does not consider children:
0:006> !dumpheap -mt 02b24dfc
Address MT Size
02e92410 02b24dfc 28
02e9242c 02b24dfc 28
02e92474 02b24dfc 28
[...]
But !objsize
does:
0:006> !objsize 02e92410
sizeof(02e92410) = 28 (0x1c) bytes (ObjSizeChildren.Object)
0:006> !objsize 02e9242c
sizeof(02e9242c) = 72 (0x48) bytes (ObjSizeChildren.Object)
0:006> !objsize 02e92474
sizeof(02e92474) = 160 (0xa0) bytes (ObjSizeChildren.Object)
Checked with this code:
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var o1 = new Object();
var o2 = new Object {child = new Child()};
var o3 = new Object {child = new Child {grandChild = new GrandChild()}};
Console.WriteLine("Debug now");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write(o1);
Console.Write(o2);
Console.Write(o3);
}
}
class Object
{
private long a;
private long b;
public Child child;
}
internal class Child
{
private long a;
private long b;
private long c;
private long d;
public GrandChild grandChild;
}
internal class GrandChild
{
private long a;
private long b;
private long c;
private long d;
private long e;
private long f;
private long g;
private long h;
private long i;
private long j;
}
