[Insight-developers] MemoryProbe doesn't work at all?

[Williams, Norman K]

There's this bug report: http://www.itk.org/Bug/view.php?id=10252

And here's the patch I wrote to address it: http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1958



And the problem is that memory usage probes boil down to calling getrusage. Even after allocating a megabyte array (and touching every byte to force actual allocation) getrusage reports zero for resident memory usage.



I've only tested this on Mac OS X so far, but I suspect that it will fail everywhere except maybe Windows.  So the question is if this never worked, and never had any coverage or testing, why is the memoryprobe stuff even in ITK?
