Pharo Space and Time

An small project to add some statistics generating code for used space and time for Pharo.

GraphSpaceStatistics

This is the class that can be used to inspect the statistics of space usage of a given graph of objects. It uses a GraphWalker to get all the recheable objects in the graph. This object understands messages to access the statistics.

It gives:

• totalInstances: The total number of instances
• totalSizeInBytes: The sum of all the space used by the objects in the graph
• statisticsPerClass: a collection of GraphSpaceStatisticsPerClass with the information for each of the classes the graph have instances.
• statisticsPerClassCSV: a simple CSV to import in your favorite analysis and graphing tool.

Usage

stats := GraphSpaceStatistics new
	rootObject: rootOfTheGraph;
	yourself.

stats totalSizeInBytes.
stats totalInstances.
stats statisticsPerClass.	
stats statisticsPerClassCSV.
