Fast Memory Manager

Description: A fast replacement memory manager for Embarcadero Delphi applications that scales well under multi-threaded usage, is not prone to memory fragmentation, and supports shared memory without the use of external .DLL files.

Advantages:

• Fast
• Low overhead. FastMM is designed for an average of 5% and maximum of 10% overhead per block.
• Supports up to 3GB of user mode address space under Windows 32-bit and 4GB under Windows 64-bit. Add the "$SetPEFlags $20" option (in curly braces) to your .dpr to enable this.
• Highly aligned memory blocks. Can be configured for either 8-byte or 16-byte alignment.
• Good scaling under multi-threaded applications
• Intelligent reallocations. Avoids slow memory move operations through not performing unneccesary downsizes and by having a minimum percentage block size growth factor when an in-place block upsize is not possible.
• Resistant to address space fragmentation
• No external DLL required when sharing memory between the application and external libraries (provided both use this memory manager)
• Optionally reports memory leaks on program shutdown. (This check can be set to be performed only if Delphi is currently running on the machine, so end users won't be bothered by the error message.)
• Supports Delphi 4 (or later), C++ Builder 4 (or later), Kylix 3.
