Incorrect % RAM use reported in the stat window [4.5 too]

[OT]

This error has still not been fixed ver 4 beta, % RAM reported in the statistics window is still incorrect.
It has been reported for quite some time. Two projects tested:
sinegen should have reported 5%, reported 1% available
O2ansx should have reported 11%, reported 0% available
Both have previously been uploaded to the support page

Hello OT,

I tried examples and didn't notice this behavior. Here is Screenshot:

Interesting, I now see why you have not spotted this bug. None of your examples uses much RAM, and thus 1% use seems reasonable. Try compiling the following for a dsPIC30F4013. 0% available RAM reported. Then change Maxdat to 100. Available RAM reported 99% . If flips between two states, either 0% or 99%.

Code: Select all

program TestRAMReport;
Const
  MaxDat=256;
var
  DatArray  : Array[1..MaxDat] of Real;
  i         : Integer;
begin
  i:=0;
  While true do begin
    Inc(i);
    DatArray[i]:=0.5*i;
    If i>=MaxDat then i:=0;
  end;
end.

Thanks OT for clarifying.
We will fix it.

I am afraid this problem has still not been fixed in ver. 4.5beta.

It is not that it matters much for me (except for the time I spend to repeatedly report the same problem), however in marketing I think it is important for you to have very polished products to convince engineers that tend to stick to "industrial standard" products that are much harder to use...

I guess the new libraries took the attention this time.
