Enum MemoryCategory

Memory categories tracked by MemorySnapshot.

Namespace: PopcorningGuineaPig.Engine.Diagnostics

Assembly: PopcorningGuineaPig.Engine.dll

Syntax

public enum MemoryCategory

Remarks

Categories fall into two groups, which the diagnostics overlay surfaces in separate sections:

• Game asset state Textures, Models, Sounds, Fonts, Shaders, Other — bytes attributable to assets the engine has loaded for the project being built. This is the footprint a shipped game would carry.
• Host process counters ManagedHeap, ProcessWorkingSet, ProcessPrivate — bytes attributed to the host process (editor + engine, or the game runtime when sampled from a shipped game). These include the host's overhead and are NOT the game's standalone footprint when sampled from inside the editor.

Editor-only memory (thumbnail caches, ImGui atlases, theme textures) is intentionally NOT represented; those are workshop concerns, not game concerns.

Fields

Name	Description
Fonts	Bytes consumed by registered fonts (glyph atlas pixel data). Byte estimation is deferred to story 12.7; the current build reports 0 here.
ManagedHeap	Managed CLR heap (GC.GetTotalMemory). When measured from a shipped game this is the game's heap; when measured from the editor it includes the editor's allocations and is reported under the "host process" label.
Models	Bytes consumed by registered models. Byte estimation is deferred to story 12.7; the current build reports 0 here.
Other	Catch-all for memory not attributed to any specific category. Byte estimation is deferred to story 12.7; the current build reports 0 here.
ProcessPrivate	Host process private committed memory (Process.PrivateMemorySize64). Includes the editor's overhead when sampled from inside the editor.
ProcessWorkingSet	Host process working set — physical RAM in use (Process.WorkingSet64). Includes the editor's overhead when sampled from inside the editor.
Shaders	Shaders. The GPU memory of compiled shaders is opaque; this category is always reported as 0. The shader count is exposed separately via IAssetRegistry.GetShaderCount.
Sounds	Bytes consumed by registered sounds (decoded buffers + streaming sources). Byte estimation is deferred to story 12.7; the current build reports 0 here.
Textures	Estimated bytes consumed by registered textures, derived from each texture's pixel format and dimensions.
