NAME
Devel::MAT::Tool::Sizes - calculate sizes of SV structures
DESCRIPTION
This Devel::MAT tool calculates the sizes of the structures around SVs. The individual size of each individual SV is given by the size method, though in several cases SVs can be considered to be part of larger structures of a combined aggregate size. This tool calculates those sizes and adds them to the UI.
The structural size is calculated from the basic size of the SV, added to which for various types is:
- ARRAY
-
Arrays add the basic size of every non-mortal element SV.
- HASH
-
Hashes add the basic size of every non-mortal value SV.
- CODE
-
Codes add the basic size of their padlist and constant value, and all their padnames, pads, constants and globrefs.
The owned size is calculated by starting at the given SV and accumulating the set of every strong outref whose refcount is 1. This is the set of all SVs the original directly owns.
SV METHODS
This tool adds the following SV methods.
structure_set
@svs = $sv->structure_setReturns the total set of the SV's structure.
structure_size
$size = $sv->structure_sizeReturns the size, in bytes, of the structure that the SV contains.
owned_set
@svs = $sv->owned_setReturns the set of every SV owned by the given one.
owned_size
$size = $sv->owned_sizeReturns the total size, in bytes, of the SVs owned by the given one.

...Finds and prints the largest SVs by size. The 5 largest SVs are shown.
If counting sizes in a way that includes referred SVs, a tree is printed showing the 3 largest SVs within these, and of those the 2 largest referred SVs again. This should help identify large memory occupiers.
Takes the following named options:
By default, only the individual SV size is counted.
