overall bytes in Xcode Instruments reaches 1 GB is that ok?

Here is my question.

I tried to check my allocation part using Instruments in xcode. I am doing some image crop Application using CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex for processing the images. while doing the process it is taking to much memory and i released it in right manner.

This image shows how memory is released

In Instruments the live bytes is 1.56Mb , #living = 22,862 and Overall bytes reaches 1.11Gb after that also it will increase.

This application is not working in ipad1. i dont have ipad2 or 3 in hand to test the application.

In the image some peak points are there. At that point Live Bytes reaches 73MB. and it will be released. will ipad 2 handle this peak ??

Peak point reaches 73MB

Can anyone tell this will cause any memory Problem in device.

How about the overall bytes. is there any limit for this?

Solution

  • yes since overall bytes is just the number of bytes that were EVER allocated.

    The longer the app runs, the higher the no.
