I just trying to take a snapshot from JetBrains dotMemory application and, I noticed that when we are taking a snapshot, looks like the total memory is increasing little bit. So could someone know the reason for this?
before taking the snapshot:
After taking the snapshot:
If you guys can look at these two images, there are considerable memory changes with Unmanaged memory.
In order to profile application Windows Profiling API injects a native dll (part of dotMemory written in C++) into the address space of the profilee application. To collect and write a graph of objects (memory snapshot) to the disk the code in this dll also allocates some memory, it leads increasing of usage of native memory. Note, that usage of .NET (managed) memory of your application didn't increase.
