Description
Hi, I'm using mimalloc 2.2.3 built through vcpkg on a C++ program running on Windows. I want to use mimalloc's per-thread stats to monitor my threads' memory consumption on a long-running program which is built in Release mode. However, when using mi_thread_stats_print_out I see the values are incorrect (i.e. much lower than they should be).
As an example, I have the following code:
#include <chrono>
#include <cstdio>
#include <thread>
#include <mimalloc.h>
#include <mimalloc-new-delete.h>
static void thread_fn_leak()
{
for (auto i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(5));
new char[104857600];
mi_thread_stats_print_out(nullptr, nullptr);
puts("");
}
}
int main()
{
mi_version();
std::thread t(thread_fn_leak);
t.join();
return 0;
}
When built on Debug mode, the stats look correct:
heap stats: peak total current block total#
bin 1: 8 B 8 B 8 B 8 B 1 not all freed
bin 13: 160 B 160 B 160 B 160 B 1 not all freed
bin 28: 2.0 KiB 2.0 KiB 2.0 KiB 2.0 KiB 1 not all freed
bin 33: 5.0 KiB 5.0 KiB 5.0 KiB 5.0 KiB 1 not all freed

However, when built on Release mode I see the following:
heap stats: peak total current block total#
reserved: 0 0 0 ok
committed: 0 0 0 ok
reset: 0
purged: 0

Here touched shows 385 KB when in reality the thread is allocating around 500 MB. This is correctly reported by the (presumably OS-provided) process stats, but I'd like to have to have thread-specific stats here too since my real program uses thread pools, etc.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this expected to work correctly only for Debug builds?
Thanks.
