Get current used stack size for win7
To get the current used stack size for a process on Windows 7, you can use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface through Python. Specifically, you can use the psutil
library, which provides an easy-to-use interface for retrieving system and process information.
Here's how you can use psutil
to get the current used stack size for a process on Windows 7:
Install
psutil
: If you haven't already installedpsutil
, you can do so using the following command:bashpip install psutil
Python Code to Get Stack Size:
pythonimport psutil
def get_stack_size(process_name):
try:
for process in psutil.process_iter(['pid', 'name', 'memory_info']):
if process.info['name'] == process_name:
stack_size_bytes = process.info['memory_info'].vms
stack_size_mb = stack_size_bytes / (1024 * 1024)
return stack_size_mb
except psutil.NoSuchProcess:
return None
if __name__ == "__main__":
process_name = "your_process_name.exe" # Replace with the name of the process you want to check
stack_size_mb = get_stack_size(process_name)
if stack_size_mb is not None:
print(f"Stack size for {process_name}: {stack_size_mb:.2f} MB")
else:
print(f"Process '{process_name}' not found.")
Replace
"your_process_name.exe"
with the name of the process for which you want to retrieve the stack size. For example, if you want to get the stack size of the Python interpreter itself, you can use"python.exe"
.Run the Python Script: Save the Python script with a meaningful name (e.g.,
get_stack_size.py
). Open a Command Prompt, navigate to the directory containing the script, and run it using Python:bashpython get_stack_size.py
The script will output the current used stack size in megabytes for the specified process.
Please note that the exact stack size value you obtain may vary depending on the process and its behavior at the time of measurement. Also, keep in mind that accessing process information may require sufficient permissions, especially for processes owned by other users.
