This project provides a tool called stack_size_summarizer that tracks stack size usage of processes on a Linux system. It periodically reads the /proc filesystem and calculates the total user-space stack size and the total kernel-space stack size used by all processes. It then compares these values with previous readings and reports changes that have occurred.
Prerequisites:
- CMake 3.30.2 or higher
- C++20 compliant compiler
- Boost libraries installed on your system
- procps library installed on your system
To get started with stack_size_summarizer, clone the repository from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/roman-empire-roman/stack_size_summarizer.git
$ cd stack_size_summarizer/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build/
$ cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-18 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-18 ../
$ make
Run the application:
$ ./stack_size_summarizer
