[Mono-dev] When does JIT reuse memory for new methods

[Andreas Nahr]

I might be wrong on that one, but afaik method-definitions are only unloaded
once the AppDomain gets unloaded (or should be - not sure if mono already
does this)

Betreff: [Mono-dev] When does JIT reuse memory for new methods

 

Hi,
I am trying to output some memory map files for mono JITed methods. 
I have managed to find the place where methods are JITed and output a file 
with the starting address of each method and the size (was easy).
Now I am trying to find the place where a memory chunk allocated for a
method by 
the JIT is reused for another method when JIT runs out of memory. I have
seen that
 all JITing is done in a memory pool temporarily and then a code manager
(for each
 domain) is used to find a chunk with a space for the new code or allocate 
a new one. One thing I did not get is that code manager always allocates a
new 
chunk and never delete previous filled chunks. Instead they are moved to the
full
 list. So where exactly is the place where JIT starts to free some memory
for new
 methods. Also what about the reJITed methods? what happen to the previous
code
 memory place. This is important for me to decide when should I stop filling
a memory 
map and start with a new one so that I do not mix different methods with the
same 
memory addresses.
Thanks
