It's a little distressing how often we have historically coded S32 or U32 to
pass a length or index.
There are more such assumptions in other viewer subdirectories, but this is a
start.
There were two distinct LLMemory methods getCurrentRSS() and
getWorkingSetSize(). It was pointless to have both: on Windows they were
completely redundant; on other platforms getWorkingSetSize() always returned
0. (Amusingly, though the Windows implementations both made exactly the same
GetProcessMemoryInfo() call and used exactly the same logic, the code was
different in the two -- as though the second was implemented without awareness
of the first, even though they were adjacent in the source file.)
One of the actual MAINT-6996 problems was due to the fact that
getWorkingSetSize() returned U32, where getCurrentRSS() returns U64. In other
words, getWorkingSetSize() was both useless *and* wrong. Remove it, and change
its one call to getCurrentRSS() instead.
The other culprit was that in several places, the 64-bit WorkingSetSize
returned by the Windows GetProcessMemoryInfo() call (and by getCurrentRSS())
was explicitly cast to a 32-bit data type. That works only when explicitly or
implicitly (using LLUnits type conversion) scaling the value to kilobytes or
megabytes. When the size in bytes is desired, use 64-bit types instead.
In addition to the symptoms, LLMemory was overdue for a bit of cleanup.
There was a 16K block of memory called reserveMem, the comment on which read:
"reserve 16K for out of memory error handling." Yet *nothing* was ever done
with that block! If it were going to be useful, one would think someone would
at some point explicitly free the block. In fact there was a method
freeReserve(), apparently for just that purpose -- which was never called. As
things stood, reserveMem served only to *prevent* the viewer from ever using
that chunk of memory. Remove reserveMem and the unused freeReserve().
The only function of initClass() and cleanupClass() was to allocate and free
reserveMem. Remove initClass(), cleanupClass() and the LLCommon calls to them.
In a similar vein, there was an LLMemoryInfo::getPhysicalMemoryClamped()
method that returned U32Bytes. Its job was simply to return a size in bytes
that could fit into a U32 data type, returning U32_MAX if the 64-bit value
exceeded 4GB. Eliminate that; change all its calls to getPhysicalMemoryKB()
(which getPhysicalMemoryClamped() used internally anyway). We no longer care
about any platform that cannot handle 64-bit data types.
continued conversion to units system
made units perform type promotion correctly and preserve type in arithmetic
e.g. can now do LLVector3 in units
added typedefs for remaining common unit types, including implicits
(per Monty code review)
The notion of storing LLMemoryInfo data both as an LLSD::Map and an
LLSD::Array of pair arrays arose from a (possibly misguided) desire to
continue producing stats output into the viewer log in the same order it
always used to be produced. There is no evidence that anyone cares about the
order of those stats in the log; there is no other use case for preserving
order. At Monty's recommendation, eliminate generating and storing the
array-of-pair-arrays form: directly store LLSD::Map.
Recast stream() to display data from LLSD array rather than reinvoking OS
operations used to capture it.
Make refresh() cache LLSD data in map form as well as array; fetch items from
that in a few places to avoid going back to OS.
But be more careful with CPU clock count on linux, so the fasttimer values are much more accurate than they were the last time we were with RDTSC, in absolute terms - back in the right order of magnitude anyway.
Also change many instances of Mhz to MHz.
Also some minor comment fixes.
Ok, finally got this to a point where it doesn't break the build and I can check
in. llcommon can be built as a shared library (disabled but can be enabled with
cmake cache var LLCOMMON_LINK_SHARED.
