Boost :: multi_array memory size
I have a boost :: multi_array of three dimensions
boost::multi_array<Struct, 3>* newArr = new boost::multi_array<Struct, 3>(boost::extents[x][y][z], boost::fortran_storage_order())
Is there a way to calculate the size of newArr or should I just use
sizeof(Struct)*x*y*z ?

You should be able to use
sizeof(Struct)*x*y*z + sizeof(boost::multi_array<Struct, 3>)
Let me know a little if the documentation shows a simpler / more general approach.
Also, I like to just not bother and use inference eg. valgrind --tool=massif
to know exactly what stands out where. This will also give relevant results if you have for example
struct Struct {
std::string x;
char const* my_data;
};
Here's a sample output from an array when using Struct with just an element std::string
:
#include <boost/multi_array.hpp>
struct Struct {
std::string x;
};
int main() {
int x=300,y=400,z=400;
boost::multi_array<Struct, 3>* newArr = new boost::multi_array<Struct, 3>(boost::extents[x][y][z], boost::fortran_storage_order());
}
This results in, for example, on my system 384,000,160 bytes , which is what was printed when addingstd::cout << 300*400*400*sizeof(Struct)+sizeof(*newArr);
